Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

"Just stop being poor!" - that town
Just reach into your wallet and pull out the money is not rocket science
More likely, "go be poor somewhere else!"
I mean, for real. How long before the cattle cars come?
Guy at my old work was always saying we need to do this.
Plans like that always work until the metaphorical cattle car comes for them.
I genuinely believe these places should just give homeless people 1-way tickets to Hawaii.
Make it their problem.
Personally, if I was homeless and found out I'm now in debt from the greedy-fuckers who put me there...
I would just take the law into my own hands at that point.
Often, at the surface all you'll see is someone being homeless through their own actions. Take a peak a little closer and you'll see that we all failed them collectively. The biggest difference I've noticed between housed and unhoused isn't the amount of trauma/violence/abuse they've suffered its the amount of support around them that made the difference in life trajectory.
Regardless of how they hit there, how is it useful for anyone to attempt to fine someone for having nothing? Seems like just a pretense to jail people
There is political pressure from our corporate prison companies to fill their beds, so they can get their tasty government stipend. Indeed, jailing them is beneficial to both parties involved as it "solves" the homeless issue for the govt and makes money for the ~~bribery~~ donation class citizens they serve.
By their own fault? Do they just super enjoy living outside?
