Criminalizing Homelessness and Praising Greed

The Corrupt Supreme Court’s recent decision on homelessness has raised several concerning issues.

The ruling essentially criminalizes homelessness by upholding an Oregon city’s anti-camping ordinance. People can now be punished for sleeping outside when they have nowhere else to go. I’m sure other states will follow this same heartless strategy.

 Justice Sonia Sotomayor passionately dissented, emphasizing that sleep is a biological necessity, not a crime. She accused the majority of focusing too much on local governments’ needs and not enough on “the most vulnerable in our society” who live unsheltered every night. Sotomayor highlighted that homelessness results from interconnected issues such as stagnant wages, rising housing costs, domestic abuse, and psychiatric disabilities. Criminalizing homelessness can lead to a cascade of harm, including incarceration and retribution.

Regardless of the verdict, the real problem remains, all the money and resources are moving in one direction. The lack of affordable housing and support services. In addition, I would be remised not to mention the top one percent own close to 50 percent of all the wealth in the US and furthermore own the Supreme Court and the Politicians. The ruling doesn’t address the root causes of rising homelessness, which is wealth inequality, greed and corruption.  This ruling is a serious sin in gods eyes. He says, there will be a serious price to pay. Who gave the Rich, Politicians and the Supreme Court dominion of the earth and all its resources?
