    This country would have shanty towns like Africa if we allowed people to build and keep them. We dont even give then that dignity here

      In North Korea, homeless are swept into some dark corner, away from liberal eyes. Wait a year or two before the abhorrent conditions literally kill them. Throw the body in a furnace and make room for the next group of people who couldn’t afford another $200/mo rent increase.

      Or maybe they got illegally towed and lost their job. Illegally evicted to turn the home into an AirBnB. Maybe their boss Illegally withheld pay.

      The collapse of an imperial core is experienced by seeing homeless people die one by one until you’re one of them.

      Ah just kidding it’s actually the wealthiest and most powerful nation in the entirety of recorded human history this happens in.
