anti-homelessness
It’s always really disheartening to see tacitly anti-homeless policies, like the daily cap on bottle return deposits. When someone’s bringing in 25 bottles it’s probably their only viable means of income, and it’s value that they’ve *certainly* worked for.
The likelihood that those 25 bottles are bottles discarded by people for whom the dollar a bottle means *absolutely* nothing should not disqualify someone from *fucking feeding themselves*

person living entirely off discarded scraps of the well-off: *exists*
policy makers: hmm, what if we could limit how many scraps they could access?

@cat this whole thing reminds me of how aggressively cities will fight people who give out food for not having licenses
it's like, excuse me - you're gonna fine people for *giving away* food for not being a legitimate distributor of food???? fuck you, cities
