What the fuck did I just read?
Humans arrested and charged for feeding hungry and needy humans

Home of the fuck you i got mine
With a lot of right-wing voters, it's "fuck you and me, someone else got theirs"
I thought it was just "fuck you".
One day we will be in the utopia summed up only by "fuck".
Worse: they think they got theirs but didn't. The group most likely to experience homelessness? Boomers. The group most entering the workforce? People over 75 years old.
An entire generation worked so hard to put their vision of the world out there but couldn't see that they were destroying their own future in the process.
Somehow freedom morphed into Free Dumb.
Believe it or not, it used to be illegal in most places to be in public if you were maimed or deformed. We're talking veterans will be arrested for walking down the street. The reason? Good christian folk suffer when they see it, it has to be kept out of sight.
This is the 20th century version of that.
This still goes on with dress codes directed at women. "This women's skirt is an inch too short, all the boys will turn into sexual predators!"
Making me look up the source 😡
