I don't know a name for this emotion
2022-Oct-26, Wednesday 01:12 pm*sigh* Sometimes, I just don't understand government or the people who vote to make it the way it is.
This morning, I looked out my kitchen window and saw a City Of Minneapolis Regulatory Service car sitting motionless in my alley. Was it here to complain about my back yard? I'm not sure what would be the problem. This looks okay from this weekend, right? Or was it here about my neighbor, which had 9 vehicles parked in the back yard recently? It's been bad for weeks/months, but 9 vehicles was a new record, so I took this photo yesterday.
If this is "broken windows policing", then I'm not a fan. These vehicles are not directly harming anything, so why waste taxpayer money on monitoring? I'd much rather have somebody driving around listening for obnoxious noises to track down, so they don't rattle my home windows. The local noise pollution wears down the mind. Why doesn't government spend this money instead on monitoring the powerful for stolen wages, missed taxes, or abused authority?
After my experience as a 54-year-old man being arrested at a homeless encampment facing eviction, I can sympathize with this 78-year-old woman arrested for feeding the homeless. There is also video of her arrest and her speaking about it. Why is this happening? Is it really just religion? What breeds this contempt for humanity? Seriously, why is this happening?
Why are people voting into office the representatives who make these laws and regulations? Why is anyone using their power in this world to enable such awful things like criminalizing poverty? Our lives could be better.
