The Oregon case decided Friday is the most significant to come before the high court in decades on the issue and comes as a rising number of people in the U.S. are without a permanent place to live.

        If we make it illegal to be homeless, everyone will have a home! It’s brilliant!

      We have more empty homes than we do the homeless. If this country wanted a war on homelessness, it’d be over in a year. And that’s just the time it’d take to organize the moves. It isn’t even entirely correct to say this is a war on the homeless, either. It’s much broader than that and this conflict has been going on since time immemorial.

      This is the class war and we’re losing.

        Well, no, they aren’t fighting homelessness at all, that would mean trying to reduce, not to mention eliminate it.

        Capitalists want homelessness, so that they have a whole under class of people to lock up and exploit, and that also serve as a warning to the rest of the working class.

        The war is definitely against the homeless, not homelessness.
