Welcome to end-game Idiocracy. Something tragic is that Texas essentially criminalized homelessness via ballot proposition a few years ago to remove tent encampments (misdemeanor for camping in public, Prop 3 I think). Sweep the problem under the rug. If you are privileged enough to have a roof over your head, despite how hard you work, count your lucky fucking stars. The Republicans are coming for you.

Yeah the idea is that you contribute to the system either by being wealthy enough to own a home in a market where the homes are being scooped up by corporations, struggling enough to just pay the ever-increasing rent on an apartment (wouldn’t want you saving up enough to buy a home, after all), or become a legal slave to make the state money in the prison system. The American Dream but “You Must be This Wealthy to Ride”
