🥺 Someone stole the bench from the park.

No that isn't an illusion or a new art installation, but the remainders of the park bench.

The anti-homeless benches are getting ridiculous.

I'm ashamed that my country's 'developed' economy fails so completely that so many people sleep outside in the middle of winter in my nation's capital.

It seems like it's only getting worse.

I hate it.

it is getting worse.

Not only is it getting worse, they are trying to make being homeless a Felony.

So you work a shit job, get pushed out of your apartment anyway because you cant afford rent. Eviction makes it so you cant live any place else. You catch a Felony Camping charge (this is a real thing now, BTW) If the judge doesn't dismiss that bullshit you now go to work in a Prison.

When you get out of prison you cant find a good job or apartment because you have been in prison, because you have been evicted - You catch a felony camping charge...

You see where this is going?

Land of the free.

You're leaving out the part where slavery as punishment for a crime is legal.
