Another case of Dems preemptively giving up a win. This move is prevent a full repeal, but ...looks like backtracking which gives the repeal movement plenty of ammo

@OneRedFox This is a depressing read, and it's yet more of the same. There's no funding for measures that actually help people, and the people working to ensure that's the case are happy to capitalize on the resulting friction for propaganda.

Don't like seeing homeless people shitting on your streets or camping in your parks?
Build them homes.
Police sweeps are like stirring up a still pond. Sediment goes everywhere and the water gets cloudy but sediment is never removed.
Dredge the pond: build the homeless homes.
Build everyone homes. Oregon needs millions of units.
It is the same way in Washington. They keep sweeping encampments and the people living there just have to go somewhere else. It doesn't solve homelessness. Homes do, though.
But there’s no point in reintegrating homeless people back into society because the billionaires already finished extracting wealth from them.
Don't worry, they will bring back vagrancy laws and debtor's prisons, and let states fine people for being homeless, imprison them, and force them to work for free! New value-extraction plan for Capitalism to exploit!
too expensive. Just put them in jail and then you get free labor
Too expensive, put them in jail and then bill them for the privilege, and garnish their forced labor wages.
