The cruelty is part of the fun! Plus prison = free slave labor!
/s
Providing housing and paying them a shit wage is slave labor too but you get the benefit of them paying their money back into the company store so it’s cheaper.
Homeless people should NOT exist in a world with trillionaires. Fuck the rich so hard.
Here’s a reminder that there are nearly 14,000,000 vacant houses in America, and less than 650,000 homeless people. The math comes out to ~22 vacant houses for every single homeless person. I’ll give you one guess which income bracket owns the vast majority of those vacant houses…

it’s poor people, right? right?
Well duh, they’re on the street because they’re experiencing decision paralysis on what house to live in that day.
Phrase that differently or the wealthy will get the wrong idea.
nah, I’m not a minor
That wasn’t what I…
You know what, that works too.
I think this might have been about the “should not exist” party which could also mean “kill them all”, in the billionaire’s mind.
Alright, so let’s kill 'em!
(Ambiguity is on purpose.)
They know goddamn well a big contingent is willing to if they had the opportunity, so they’ve gone to great lengths to avoid such possibilities.
This should intrigue people who like a challenge idk
Totally agree. What the fuck is a society that just cares about money and not people. Its not worth surviving.
The sad thing is that it has been like this for so damn long it isn’t funny. And the people who like it this way will never go away.
Obviously, the solution is US slavery
US prison workers produce $11bn worth of goods and services a year for pittance
And it only costs $80bn to do so!
One of the most obvious illustrations how capitalism socialise costs and privatises profits.
It’s “expensive” in the “right” way. The costs are paid by taxes, which are largely supplied by the 99%. The revenue, by contrast, is privatized, going to corporations owned by the 1%.
So it’s only “expensive” for the masses, which lawmakers don’t care about.
Not to mention the slave labor they gain out of it.
I was lumping that into “revenue”
👆 👆 These two guys/girls/dudes/men/women get it.
Just another way to extract surplus created by the 99%.
It’s not that expensive if you use them as slave labor and ignore their human rights… Well, still expensive for the tax payers, but who cares for those peasants? /s
This isn’t talked about enough. Also plays in to why the job market is shit, people are pissed about competing with immigrants making $12/ hr but not the literal slave labor thays like $2/ hr.
How about organs? I’m about done with this liver and I could use a bigger penis.
How about house them in a way that take away their voting rights and use them as cheap labor? Member how prisoners were used to fight the Palisades fires in January?

Don’t forget the expensive housing is provided by a for-profit prison system. It’s expensive for taxpayers, but someone else is getting rich.

Meanwhile in AES states like the DPRK:
Homeless? Never heard of her
Well, there WAS that thing a couple of months ago where Kilmeade said the quiet part out loud, suggesting we should execute them.
no, we should arm the homeless
How else do we keep cops from fucking with them?
It’s an investment by the megacorps (with gov monies) into keeping the plebs in check, to not get any ideas around equity, social reform, tax increases, megacorp regulation (consumer prices/margins cap), higher wages, etc.
It’s super effective.
The same infrastructure can also be recycled in event of a full-on fascist gov.
Not only that. The housing is then maintained by taxpayers, who are not the rich strata. So it’s another way to funnel money from the poor/middle class to the corporation owned by the rich.
Truth. The cheapest option is housing and mental health care.
In particular if you look at the long term (even just a couple of years): many homeless just need a little help to start climbing the ladder again. So housing and mental care would allow them to quickly become productive members of society. Prisons just lock them into a circle of poverty.
…and do absolutely fuck all to make the world a better place.
This is how people start believing the free market makes it moral for poor people to just die instead
I’m unfamiliar with this bal—Is it a country or an ism?
Anarcho-capitalism, which is just capitalism unchained by any and all sort of regulation of a state. And I mean that literally. Slavery? Fair game. Children? Property of the parents and a commodity for the markets. Collective bargaining and workers rights? Unprofitable for the shareholders. Human rights? Only for corporations. Justice? Money makes right. Monopoly on violence? Belongs to the bagholder.
Long story short, it’s just fascism for nerds.
also unfortunately has taken for itself the label of libertarianism in the american adjacent cultural sphere so people don’t even know about niche left libertarian shit like market socialism or like that guy who did the Cincinnati Time Store, further solidifying capitalism as “the only system” that makes sense to them
An ‘-ism’. Specifically anarcho-capitalism.
I regret asking, but thank you for the clarification
