Lol, you think a person who implements such a policy will apply it to themselves?

Not if you're salaried exempt!

That's actually why. You have to drain the power from the circuits.

Not to mention crashing at high speeds into trees and shit with only a helmet vs being completely covered with padding

Yeah, without giving demographic information, the comparisons are worthless.

Batteries, right?

Actually, both are true. There's not just one type of homeless person, which is a large part of why it's such a complex issue to address.

There are a lot of homeless who are severely mentally ill, addicted to drugs, or both (self medication). These people are a significant portion of the homeless (~1/3 mentally ill, ~1/3 alcohol, ~1/4 drugs).

There are also a lot of homeless people who had some bad luck and need help getting back on their feet.

There's no one size fits all fix here, but the idea of giving someone a stack of cash and expecting it to be used responsibly is absurd. There need to be guardrails in place.

I'm not disparaging the people who can't spend a stack of cash responsibly either. They need help in the form of social services, not money.

I've been embarrassed for my country since 9/11.

For real, though, TP is my goto when I'm sick. I find it softer than facial tissues, less wasteful, cheaper, and I don't have to store another product.

Plus, you can just toss it in the toilet when done.

Tomorrow is fascism, so it super doesn't matter.

What? Why would the SC care about looking corrupt? They're clearly not hiding it anymore.

Do they think Putin cares?
