Yeah, I was only talking about actual convicts. Not every homeless person is a criminal. The troublesome ones usually are: assaults, sexual assaults, drug dealing and possession (those are still felonies). Not to mention aggravated trespassing.

Unfortunately, what should be infrastructure spending like the chips act mostly is getting diverted to boondoggles. Everyone has their snout in the trough, and nobody is accountable to actually deliver results.

It’s hard to imagine a future where self governing cars have carte Blanche to just mow people over and get away with it. If they do, perhaps we could carry car-disabling firearms to fire upon any autonomous vehicles before they kill us. I predict the opposite. NHTSA won't allow any autonomous vehic...

Speaking of fitness for president. This is from today. At least neither Biden nor Trump have actual worms eating their brains. You just can't make this stuff up can you?

Very sad. Most my experience with street people has been the same… they suddenly go dark once they realise you’re offering a real opportunity for change.
