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?

Yep, America’s plan for addressing the homeless is just “move along”

"Why don't we just take the homeless... and push them somewhere else?!"

Tank the economy and make people lose their homes, then make it illegal to be homeless. What the hell?!

Next step: For-profit prisons where prisoners must work for their food and a place to sleep. Oh, wait, this is already a thing!

Yeah, slavery for the poverty-stricken with any and all gains going to the Masters of the Economy, a small group of old perverts (GOP) with so much wealth they don't know what to do with it all...other than keep the poverty-stricken poverty-stricken so they can take all the gain...that they don't know what to do with...other than to spend heavily to destroy or otherwise wreck whatever means and methods of collective governance which benefits anyone or anything other than their own gains...that they don't know what to do with: They don't want to use it, they just want to control or otherwise own it.

If you can't see this pattern, you are daft. These people and their position concerning wealth and the control thereof is pure mental illness; that the entirety of human society accepts this state is as well.

Aren't those basically like the workhouses that Charles Dickens wrote about? Are we backsliding into Victorian-era poverty?
