Whose responsibility is it to protect unhoused when it's freezing outside? An Ohio pastor opened his church to the homeless and was charged by city.

And here I was told that the government doesn't need to take care of these things because churches and charities will pick up the slack...

Did you even read the headline? If you could peek over your bias for a second you could see that the article is saying the government is charging a pastor for providing shelter. Big miss here chief lol

Mate, I think they were sarcastically saying that one of the reasons there aren't government run programs to help people is the claim that churches and charities will do that instead. In this case a church attempted to do so and was instead punished, which is quite ironic if they are supposed to help those in need.

Oof. Talk about a big miss. Lol

well this is fascinating. I would love to know what you THINK they meant. I can't seem to frame it your way.

"That's my secret, captain. I never think."

So you’ll have to explain your anger at some point.

Going through this guy's comment history is a trip. Almost every comment is in the past 24 hours. Almost all poor takes or overly aggressive. Takes all kinds.
