Funnily, it is demonstrably not cheaper. Study after study shows its not cheaper. But its not about what costs the state the least, its about making sure wealth protects you from suffering. If wealth protects you from suffering, it justifies being wealthy so that you can avoid suffering. The result is that the wealthy torture the poor for the sake of torturing the poor. Its supremely fucked up and saying they do it to be cheap lessens exactly how fucked up it is.
Like. I want to be clear. I’m not replying with all this to be contrarian to your stance. I’m saying it because more people need to see it and be aware of it. Most of the world lives in a society that’s been built through torture. We’ve learned that torture isn’t required for economies to work and for workers to produce what everyone needs to thrive, but the absolute wealthiest people need to maintain the torture otherwise they can’t justify their existence stemming from this torture. It would almost be better if they justified it through sport. But its not even that. They have to keep torturing because if the torture they perform now isn’t justified, it means the torture of the past wasn’t justified

Same with healthcare. We pay, what, 4x more for our healthcare system than the next highest country that has universal healthcare? It doesn’t matter. Our system continues to funnel the money upward and punish the poor as well as further entrench them in poverty. America is lovely.
Studies show that’s the cheapest solution. The problem is that the people holding the reins of power want to torture us, the proletariat. Governance hasn’t been about what works since Reagan.
Oh gosh no. They destroy all of their property and put them in jail for 30 days. Then the next time when they try to protect their property they get sent to prison for at least a year for resisting arrest.
And that’s if they don’t get shot by someone who’s not homeless, as at least one state has a law that self defence is a legal defence to shooting a homeless person. As in their homelessness is a legal reason to be shot.
Everyone’s got their eyes on minorities but it’ll be the homeless that America herds into concentration camps first.

So they give people homes to stop them being homeless?
LOL
Cheaper to arrest them and make them grow slave labor potatos in Idaho
Happens more in the south, but yes.

Yep. It’s specifically to ensure the fear of homelessness keeps profitable wage workers at profitable as possible.
Well, it’s also about disciplining the labor force. Poverty must be unbearable so that people are kept desperate for work.

We should mutiny

Something something if currently in the commissioning of a crime lethal force something something? /s
Don’t matter the crime is made up and victimless
Especially if it’s made up and victimless.
I mean, they’re already being forced into
slaveryprison labor.Prison or a morgue table eventually it’s fucked up but yeah they’re willing to pay for those two.
Lol, laws no.
I wouldn’t call prison a “home”, but the gov’t is happy to fill it with just about anyone that doesn’t have loads of money, especially non-whites.
