    I was homeless in Phoenix in 2008 and it was beyond brutal. The heat was so intense that the soles of my shoes partially melted one day. I used to break into apartment complex pools just to cool down. And then monsoon season is a whole other beast.

    We can’t be giving homeless people free drinking water when there’s golf courses to maintain in the desert /s

    It’s ridiculous how society treats homeless people like pests

      In Arizona the water mainly goes to grow alfalfa. In the desert. For the Saudis.

      We need to reinforce our free water at businesses law that made the businesses liable if someone is turned away and suffers injury without water

        Not all places have this law, although it probably should be a law everywhere. That said, most businesses are able to skirt it fairly easily by giving away tiny cups of water. Some buy tiny cups just for this purpose and nothing else

      Golf is a surge upon this earth. Wasting water in deserts. Wasting what could be green space in cities

    It will not be a problem for long. Mr. Trump will fix it. The homeless will no longer be in the city, so no chance of heat injury

      To be fair, a city in the middle of the desert, where men was not supposed to go, taunting the will of god like Babel, might not be the best place to keep homeless people around.

    1. Find a MAGA idio-er-person you’re on… level footing with and bet that next year, temperatures will be higher.
    2. Wait a year
    3. Profit

    If they didn’t want to be burned by the sidewalk, why did they choose to become homeless?
