      RTFA. The bill requires municipalities to provide encampments.

      You know, so they can concentrate people somewhere. In a centralized camp.

        I can already imagine razor wire fencing and a watchtower or two around these public “encampments” soon, you know, for their “safety”.

    What the actual hell??? Last week, I had clients across from Naples to Bradenton, so i woke up at 4am and started doing jobs. Made it up to Bradenton at 10am and the last client wanted to wait til 2pm to do the job

    As a result i chilled, enjoyed a nice lunch, checked out the boardwalk, and after 1.5 hrs of enjoying the place, I entered my car exhausted, set an alarm to 1:30pm, and fell asleep.

    You’re telling me that THIS NAP I TOOK WOULD BE ILLEGAL?!?!?!
