Can't afford a home, probably gonna be illegal to be homeless. Guess they should just kill themselves then.

Fuck the modern conservative movement. No empathy for the downtrodden.

Born too early to enjoy fully automated luxury gay space communism, born too late to participate in affordable housing, born just in time to go to jail for conspiracy to commit suicide because living is too expensive.

Revealed: how companies made $100m clearing California homeless camps Public spending on private sweep contractors is soaring across the state – and unhoused people allege poor treatment

This reminds of the gross, despicable private detention and private prison industry in America.

They're connected. How many times can you get detained overnight and have your entire life belongings destroyed before you fight the police officer detaining you?
