Comment on Homelessness rose sharply in the U.S. in 2023, data shows

No CEO is getting a big paycheck for helping homeless people, so no one cares.
This is what endgame capitalism looks like. The endless search for ever-increasing profits isn’t sustainable and it ends up with the rich cannibalizing the system that they exploited to get rich.

Genuinely. If you take going into poverty or homelessness in the abstract - as violence - capitalism is enforced by violence. Work or suffer the consequences.

If you don’t participate you get evicted and your record is fucked. If you’re homeless the cops come and destroy your housing and you’re left with even less than before.
There isn’t an option to not participate that does not end in violence from our lovely government.
