      Just finding out today that Toronto is suing a carpenter for building/maintaining small lockable shelters for homeless folks — rather than spending the money on actually housing people. Super fucked up.

          Choosing to spend money to sue, when they could have taken the alternate ghoulish route of just taking credit somehow, they're really going out of their way to bury the bar nice and deep.

        Someone posted on this site a while back asking about building small shelters for homeless people like this, glad Toronto is discouraging people like them from trying to help the homeless.

          Having the audacity to attempt to help people is truly gross and should be challenged at ever opportunity — Toronto City Council (basically)

    On second thought, you do not, under any circumstances, "gotta hand it to them".

      Offer the Puyi Treatment at first. If they decline, that's when you proceed with the Romanov Treatment, at least with the adults.

          What's the Puyi treatment again? I forget what happened to him other than he didn't die, I don't think

            IIRC: He was put in prison/reeducated for 10 years for his war crimes, and then made a gardener for the palace he used to be a tyrant of. Wrote his memoir atoning for his cruelty while emporer and talking about how much he liked gardening.

              TBH I get the feeling like the Saudi Royal Family would be filled with dozens and dozens of Puyis... they know even more tangibly how precarious their positions are due to the volatility of those both above and below them, and it seems like many of them just wanna manage soccer teams, be F1 failsons, and become twitch streamers.

              Strong Puyi energy, even without the revolutionary pressures of that time.
