I see lots on perfectly healthy looking homeless on street corners in Florida asking for money, etc.

My reaction: Get a job. Don’y get how they have the balls to stand there and ask for money. I don’t mean to generalize, but it begs the response.

Supreme Court allows Oregon city policy targeting homeless people
The justices ruled that ordinances in Grants Pass do not violate the Constitution’s Eighth Amendment, which bars cruel and unusual punishment.

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Friday rejected a constitutional challenge to ordinances enacted by a small city in Oregon that punish homeless people for sleeping on public property when they have nowhere else to go.

The justices on a 6-3 vote on ideological lines with conservatives in the majority ruled in favor of the city of Grants Pass, saying the measures do not run afoul of the Constitution's Eighth Amendment, which bars cruel and unusual punishment.

The ruling overturns a 2022 decision by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in favor of a group of homeless people.
