Where are the homeless supposed to go?

Cities have been cracking down on homeless people so they can’t have encampments or stay on sidewalks. At the same time usually the shelters are full. So those who are unable to get into a shelter, where are they supposed to go?

What a groundbreaking idea! I'm sure that's never been tried before.

It's been tried by the USSR. You just bulid a small town of commieblocks 100ish km away from the city with basic amenities and everything, and transport them there, giving each a small residence. Alcoholics can't afford railroad tickets because vodka is cheaper. That's all.

Sounds fancy. In America they will live in a giant cage under a tent in the middle of gator infested tropical swamps that flood frequently.

Nah, that place is for people who have homes but are brown.

Don’t kid yourself, the only thing that matters to the regime is money. Poor whites are going to find out.

Something something we are gon see a rapid flattening of "ethnic" groups into just two: Rich (with abstract power) and Poor (without abstract power).

The same happened to Rome too.

We’re already seeing it.

Oh yeah, it will happen for sure once they run out of other scapegoats.

Meh, it’s already happening. The poor of every persuasion are getting their asses handed to them right now and it’s only going to get worse.

We're already seeing it with the Epstein files debacle.

Also soon we will run up against serious natural limits-- see overshoot.

Jack up gas prices to 10 a gallon and watch the riots.

But, that ties to why it won't happen because the rich doing it know as long as you have someone to hate, you'll spend all your time sniping at them and ignoring the rich.

They already are. Don't forget the farmers either.

This is the truth. The common denominator is poverty. The poor white people the poor brown people and the poor black people are all treat the same where I live. I have noticed in the last thirty years ( I am old) that as my town has more and more intermarriage the racial prejudice has faded and the income distinctions are much more divisive. Our poorest citizens are predominantly white or native in my town, most of the Hispanics people and our few black people have full time employers and in demand as workers.
