MO GOP Legislation has passed a bill to end sleeping on State Property

Isn’t that state property?

That's a good one! Lol

to beg in the streets, and to steal their bread.” Anatole France

forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal their bread.'

Only idiots in our MO legislature...unfortunately.

Didn't one of these morons even think about the negative pitfalls that could occur as a result of this bill?

I suspect that they see the homelessness in Oregon, Washington, etc., and are trying to address the issue but they are still not providing adequate shelters or jobs or whatever these people need, rehab, etc., or just hard out on their luck, in order to bring these unfortunate numbers down.

Threatening them w/ a crime because they can't afford a place or worse and must sleep in their cars, and I guess what's going to happen now is these people will flood into nearby neighborhoods, and sleep in their cars there? Or worse...

Obviously you are.

… can’t be that smart. Self destructive? Yes. But smart? Not even close. (Having said that, my alma mater, Washington University, is in that state, so there are exceptions of course.)
