So there are portalets and a place to wash hands and shower. That's nice and all, but when the best you can do for a place people are allowed to stay is to point out the lines in a parking lot, there is a serious problem. This just makes me SO angry.

All those holier than thou 'christians' moaning about not going in to their actual churches for services as though they are more than mildly inconvenienced... When is the last time their congregation was raising funds for the hungry and homeless? When is the last time (or any time) one of the arrogant grifters standing in the pulpit preached about helping the less fortunate and then passed a plate to collect for those who really need it?

The US has billions in the budget, but not enough to see that people aren't sleeping on the ground a parking lot in the middle of a pandemic? Or anytime, really. This blind eye to the poor is a moral failing in our country. It is outrageous.
