Can't afford a home, probably gonna be illegal to be homeless. Guess they should just kill themselves then.

Fuck the modern conservative movement. No empathy for the downtrodden.

This reminds of the gross, despicable private detention and private prison industry in America.

They're connected. How many times can you get detained overnight and have your entire life belongings destroyed before you fight the police officer detaining you?
