When you cut the social safety nets, you can expect people to fall and land on the streets.

Great! Then you can blame them for getting exploited by the system you bought plus blame all your fuck-ups on the ones who can't defend themselves because you kicked them to the ground. It's not a bug, it's a feature for those profiting from suffering.
And then they'll be shipped out of the cities to the "camps" so the wealthy don't have to see them.
Excuse me they're sanctuary districts.
I stand, corrected.
There are only two things we can do with the homeless, kill them, or get them into homes. Forcing them to stay on the streets kills them slower than the fascists would like, but it still kills them. Getting them into proper homes is the only morally acceltable option.
And for people to become more desperate. Which is never good for any society.
Isn't it something when the Administration forces you to become a criminal because you have no choice but to become homeless?
Don't worry. Trump will send out the National Guard to remove them.
Any day now
This administration regards everyone outside the top 20% as expendable casualties. People are treated as units.
or start a revolution, if the people got any spine left.

Tyranny increases my yearning for government as the mechanism to raise OUR CHIILDREN as we all want to: without the fear of losing sufficient income to provide basic food, clothing, shelter, medical care, education, and safety. Tax the Rich & Fund Universal Basic Income.
You can only push people so far before they retaliate.
And then tRUMPutin will arrest them for being homeless, and US taxpayers will pay for them to go to prison 🤦🏼♀️
They want for profit private prison , which will be even worse.
And then they will become free labour for the rich
I guess they have planned for that contingency, and now are looking into putting homeless people into “work” camps. They started out by clearing homeless people from DC, it won’t be long before they make homelessness a federal crime.
This is the basic bargain of society - the well off pay sufficient taxes to fund the poor and thereby avoid them turning up with pitchforks and flaming torches. If you forget that then you're dead
Many countries are not very good at helping for their citizens many are though American isn’t one of them it seems
Yep, then ice will vacuum them up and send them to camps to be leased to corporate America.
... and the kidnappings begin.
Which is why they criminalize homelessness and remove recovery options to fill private prisons and get a kickback for themselves
And then they’ll be rounded up and put in camps.
So much of this story is administrators seeing an expensive line item and believing there there will be only good effects to cutting it. But healthcare, when cut, does not cure the symptoms but only delays treatment. The effects of these diseases are leading to social ills and around and around.
And they're spending billions to round up these people and send them to god knows what fate.
Pretty sure the cutters view that as a feature, not a bug (which makes it all the more tragic)
yup. They are running a terror campaign to disrupt and destroy.
That’s the goal. Then, they arrest them for being illegally homeless, and they go to prison to do free labor.
It's just slavery with extra steps.
Yep.
They're doing it on purpose to have an excuse to arrest us, traffic us or use us for slave labor. Welcome to the privatized US prison system. Don't drop your soap.
