    Loitering is illegal in the US because public spaces are free. Why are you just sitting in a public space for free when you could be sitting in a cafe or restaurant and contributing to the economy? Oh you don’t have that money? Well then you’re worthless to society and just shouldn’t exist, obviously.

        Most (including my city) places, have no age/other restrictions on the law. Although they are often used against those groups.

      Why would you seat doing nothing instead of making money to donate them to some FOSS projects, that are desperately needing them? And there are many such projects. Time to invest in good things, go grab some buzz and donate to your favourite FOSS project(s)! Then we go chilling in the forest with moon partisans and being worthless to regimes around the globe… together.
