Here’s the slavery speed run:
Step 1 - Mass layoffs + Tariffs lead to mass homelessness. Step 2 - Criminalize homelessness. Step 3 - Arrest/institutionalize the homeless in for profit prisons. Lend inmates to private corporations for forced labor. Step 4 - Profit.

Padme: So the solution is a huge investment in public housing or state subsidised housing, right?
Anakin: …
Padme: right?Hey, I’ve seen this one before.
Hitler said the EXACT same thing! But they lied!?! They didn’t go to institutions to help rehabilitate them, they killed them in death camps!
I’m so surprised Trump would do the exact same thing! (/s).
The new iPhone factories in America will have the phrase “Arbeit macht frei” written in iron at the entrance.
Not all of us. A lot of us will just be dead.
Like me! I’m trans and disabled. I don’t think I’ll last past stage 2.
L of the LGBT here. I am also scared. Also, BP but stable with meds.
They appear to be working backwards so you have 3 letters to figure out an escape plan before it’s too late.
But not its root causes
Ohhh so close. It’s the thing John Oliver can’t say but gets a little closer to saying each night.
Yeah, they will never address the root causes of homelessness. The homeless are used as boogeymen for the lower and middle class working plebs.
“Are there no prisons?” asked Scrooge.
(…)
“And the Union workhouses?” demanded Scrooge. “Are they still in operation?”
(…)
“The Treadmill and the Poor Law are in full vigour, then?”Just a reminder this was the most heartless, most horrible man that could be imagined by a truly great author.
He did also follow that up with:
Scrooge: “I help to support the establishments I have mentioned–they cost enough; and those who are badly off must go there.”
The gentleman: “Many can’t go there; and many would rather die.”
“If they would rather die,” said Scrooge, “they had better do it, and decrease the surplus population.”
And as it turns out the “surplus population” isn’t really their concern, they just don’t want to acknowledge the poor, sick, and otherwise different.
Need to start handing out knives and 3d printed zip guns to the homeless so they can defend themselves from Trump’s gestapo.
Where did the opioid crisis come from? Who caused it?
Also, why focus on preventing homelessness by, you know, making housing affordable when instead you can just lock them all up or better yet, kill them all? Don’t tell me that this isn’t a wet dream fantasy for most gop politicians
Arm the homeless
You know
What’s the worst that could happen?
what’s the worst that could happen?
Gangs of murderous armed thugs roam our streets randomly abusing people
Except they arent all fascist racist shit heels, can maybe be talked to, don’t take up half of every municipal budget, dont traffic people, dont smuggle in drugs of abuse, and actually live in the community so won’t fuck shit up for no reason.
humane treatment
Is that what we call el Salvadorian torture prisons now?
this isn’t a shitpost… I agree its insane but not a shitpost.
I bet tons of Trumpers would tell me I’m full of shit and stuff like that will never happen, fake news; so I guess it would be a shit post for them.
They really want to turn the USA into the United Prison Systems of America.
We have the largest prison system in the world per capita four times over. You can thank senator Joe Biden for that. We’re already the United prison systems of America.
The prison industrial complex was the status quo long before Biden was even born. Why limit it to him? Blame Nixon and Reagan for both the drug epidemic and the criminalization of drug possession (accounting for something like 40% of the current prison population), and the near collapse of mental health and rehabilitation programs. Blame Clinton for enabling the corporations to grow even richer off of slave labor.
