no, we should arm the homeless
How else do we keep cops from fucking with them?
It isn’t even really about the privatization. They just want the ability to game the investment scam system.
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.
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.
Move them into “Sanctuary Districts”.
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.
Truth. The cheapest option is housing and mental health care.
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.
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.
Meanwhile in AES states like the DPRK:
Homeless? Never heard of her
You gotta feed those private prison shareholders!
UBI when?
…and do absolutely fuck all to make the world a better place.
Unfortunately we deport them to the lowest bidder with a prison.
Part of the debacle of giving homeless people free homes, would make everyone else wonder why TF we’re working so hard for 90% of our net income to be sucked away by the housing industry just so we can keep a basic roof over our heads.
You mean IF I DIDN’T WORK AT ALL, the government would GIVE me a FREE house?? If that were the case, people would decide that laziness is more rewarding than hard honest work.
This is why the government doesn’t give homes to homeless people. Although I read two days ago that in the USA there is a ratio of 27.4 empty houses per each homeless person.
But those houses must remain empty in the name of capitalism, for money-havers to do whatever they want with those houses. Anything but using it to house a needy, money-less person.
The fear of homelessness & starvation & suffering are what motivates everyone to keep working our asses off.
And after all that, any able-bodied people who still insist on sleeping & shitting on the streets & refusing to contribute to society & the economy, can be scooped up like kitty litter and dumped into for-profit prisons where they’ll be assigned jobs.
Work & service to others, is the rent we all pay for living on this planet.

I’m sure every homeless person could have a home if they just tried harder! This isn’t the most inhumane, cruel system ever!
I’m literally homeless too (I live in a van in order to have freedom, autonomy, and owe nothing to landlords or mortgage companies), and I see the housing industry for what it is, it wants to drain nearly every dime out of everyone, exploiting everyone’s basic human need for shelter. It’s extortion and I have no desire to be a victim or slave to it.
