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.

It is illegal to kill yourself.

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.

The next step is blending them into a nutrient-rich slush that will be fed to people in workhouses

Get a load of this lib that doesn't know virtually every Dem-run city provides full-throated support for the cops and pushes anti-homeless policies.

You ever stopped a sweep, lib?

Turns out it's still better to be homeless in a lib city than a conservative shit hole town.

I don't think this is just about conservatives, it's also about the owner class and their quality of life. But def significant overlap.

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?
