Giving Homeless People Fines Is… Government At Its Finest (i.e. Not Fine) (Manch Talk 08/02/23)
written by Carla Gericke
This week we do a deep dive on the proposed amendments to city ordinances to help deal with the homeless problem. We delve into the role of technology as a tool of possible enslavement or enlightenment. Finally, a quick shout out to RTKNH’s Laurie Ortolano for getting attorney’s fees assigned in her Nashua Right-to-Know case!
Carla gives Tammy a quick history lesson on South Africa’s apartheid era vernacular in response to criticism of the word “junkie” to describe a person who died from an overdose only to be revived. Is vagrant better? You cannot fix problems if you cannot call things by their proper names. Corrupting language is a tool of tyrants.
