Didn’t they also just recently throw out a bunch of people out of public housing? They even warned cities of a big influx of homeless people that is about to hit the cities when they end up without homes. Some cities have started ordering sleeping bags and tents in advance.
Now they come with this law. I truly wonder what their end game is
Capitalists want unemployment to be a death sentence. If it's possible to live outside their system then they lose control.
@fsxylo not really. Neoliberal economics specifies that it demands an "ideal" unemployment rate of at least 5% at any given time for "elasticity". Full employment would mean there isn't a supply of desperate people ready to sign up for exploitative conditions.
As such the unemployed absolutely are not living outside the system, they are the system working as intended.
Picking on the homeless basically functions to keep all the unemployed, underemployed and the precariat, under control through fear of being in the same position.
