The Supreme Court ruled authorities can in fact penalize people for sleeping in public parks and streets.  I’m Tomi Lahren, more next. It’s been dubbed the “anti-camping” law in Oregon and last week the Supreme Court upheld it.  In a 6-3 decision, the high court ruled that Grant Pass, Oregon’s controversial ordinance cracking down on homeless camping free-for-alls in public parks and streets is in fact not “cruel and unusual punishment.” The penalty for such action is a fine or even possible jail time and while some bleeding hearts are up-in-arms, it makes perfect sense that homeless people shouldn’t sprawl out wherever they please. Why should taxpayers have our parks and public areas turned into slumber parties for the homeless- many of whom are actively using drugs and/or mentally ill?! States pump billions of our tax dollars into the homeless crisis in the naive hope we won’t have to jump over addicts sprawled out in our public parks and streets.  The Supreme Court did the right thing!  I’m Tomi Lahren and you watch my show “Tomi Lahren is Fearless” at Outkick.com

As stated by The Zebra in their History of U.S. Homeownership: how housing has changed since 1960, “The United States is in the midst of a housing crisis.” They report that 40 million renters are currently at risk of eviction. That equates to almost half of the renters in the U.S. in serious danger of losing their homes. While minority residents, primarily Black and LatinX, are disproportionately affected by this, the current economic situation has caused this to hit all races.

Out of all consumer protection laws, nothing protects car owners more than the Lemon law. Car dealers can unknowingly sell you a lemon with the engine, braking, or gear issues. Unfortunately, what’s covered by this law in Alabama may not necessarily be covered in another state. Every jurisdiction has its unique lemon laws that handle defective vehicles (used and new). On top of that, there are federal laws like the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act and express warranty that protect goods under warranty. Here is a general framework to help you determine if you’ve purchased a lemon or not.
