Money is tight when people sleeping in bushes are awakened for cash, against their will by force. When they build a robotic Steven Strawn with drone support, robot tanks, and subs with nukes-

we’re ALL in trouble.

Make weed LAWFUL and support fruit stands.

This seems like a standard night if you sleep in the bushes in the middle of town. You have to know you are taking your chances. The reason you see so many bums sleeping during the day is because it’s the only time it’s safe to close your eyes.
