Here’s the slavery speed run:
Step 1 - Mass layoffs + Tariffs lead to mass homelessness. Step 2 - Criminalize homelessness. Step 3 - Arrest/institutionalize the homeless in for profit prisons. Lend inmates to private corporations for forced labor. Step 4 - Profit.
Gangs of murderous armed thugs roam our streets randomly abusing people
Except they arent all fascist racist shit heels, can maybe be talked to, don’t take up half of every municipal budget, dont traffic people, dont smuggle in drugs of abuse, and actually live in the community so won’t fuck shit up for no reason.
