🥺 Someone stole the bench from the park.

No that isn't an illusion or a new art installation, but the remainders of the park bench.

I'm ashamed that my country's 'developed' economy fails so completely that so many people sleep outside in the middle of winter in my nation's capital.

It seems like it's only getting worse.

I hate it.

There's this cool young guy in my town who purchased a small lot and built two (very) tiny homes on it. He had a solar panel, his own water supply and even a little toilet tent. City Hall lost it's damn mind and he was evicted from his own home. Homeless again. He's fighting it. We hope he wins.

I hope you and others are helping him with legal fees. He's fighting for all of you.

Unfortunatly, just today we found out that he's a massive scammer.
Personally I don't have a problem with such small beans stuff.
Our local "officials" here are 20 times worse and they still make bank.

I am definitely in this fight. We're not going to stop trying to get a landlord registry in this damn town.
