    Maybe, maybe not. Some people really do hold those opinions, for reasons not at all related to see see pee and Russia. Maybe they just noticed Big Business and billionaires get privatized profit and socialized loss while everyone else loses homes, then get criminalized for homelessness.

    I’ll say it again: we need to push hard to effectively address and correct conditions of despair, instead of criminalizing symptoms of despair.
