Promote the general welfare

This absolutely infuriates me.

No—not someone sleeping rough. (That the richest country in the world can't provide shelter for all is a different outrage.) The bastards who installed metal dividers in the benches with the backs with the sole purpose of preventing homeless people lying down.

This is on Fairfax County property, so they’re responsible. But I’ve seen the same benches in the Wiehle-Reston East Metro station, operated by WMATA.

We are a cruel and withered society.
