Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

MODERATORS
I suspect this public servant is just a hapless idiot. It's obviously not the housing authority's policy to recommend witchcraft. This person probably had good intentions.
That doesn't make it "ok", nor make the system any less broken, it just explains what's happened.
As an aside, in Australia you can't evict a tenant if they have no where to go. There isn't a bailiff in Australia that would put this woman and her son on the street.
I wish America were that enpathetic. Here we actively scorn those sorts of people as "losers" who deserve it
17 seems like overkill. If it worked, surely 1 would be enough.
