    Laws against not having an address? That just (further) criminalizes poverty.

        Now that makes a lot more sense than the way they worded it.

        Unfortunately not gonna happen under this Reich.

        Even reading what they wrote, the context and intent were there, but the way it was written doesn’t align with their intent.

          It’s pretty easy to infer what they meant based on context. Provided you’re trying to understand what they mean and not divorcing all intent from the words.

          “It” means the huge hurdle. It could have been better, for sure, but it’s fine.

      I believe it’s the other way around: laws against the discrimination of people who do not have an address.

        I would say: make a law forcing governments to provide a free administrative address on demand where you can get your mail.

          I was thinking making it illegal to require an address and use email for communication. Public libraries usually have free WiFi. They can check their emails there. If they do not have their own devices, they can use a public computer.

          Why would a physical address be required at all?
