the private sector, just like the ones getting paid over $700 per child who they have happily placed into the cheapest kind of cages and who they feed low nutrition frozen burritos to and who they spend a minimum on healthcare. That’s a lot of profit being shoveled to the 1%.

If they’re happily doing that to children why not happily and lucratively do it to the homeless. Society sure doesn’t want their tent cities under the freeway overpasses or them standing on corners sowing guilt and begging instead of getting a job. Trump can claim he cleaned up the smelly homeless issue. All fixed. Is that not the greatest ever?!

I’m only guessing, of course, but it wouldn’t surprise me at all if I’m right.
