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.
Obviously, the solution is US slavery
US prison workers produce $11bn worth of goods and services a year for pittance

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…

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.

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
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%.
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.

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
How about organs? I’m about done with this liver and I could use a bigger penis.
Well, there WAS that thing a couple of months ago where Kilmeade said the quiet part out loud, suggesting we should execute them.
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.
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.
…and do absolutely fuck all to make the world a better place.
UBI when?

We? How about “we” remove the rich, so that homelessness is only a frie and true choice if you want to be traveling?
The only people who’d like there to be homeless people are the rich and powerful.
If these people were at all reasonable or giving a shit about anybody else, they wouldn’t be ayncaps.
You gotta feed those private prison shareholders!
