@Nonya_Bidniss@infosec.exchange I think it's partially performative "tough on crime" bullshit, but also, those in power and business owners really do want the homeless locked up. They don't want to actually solve the problem, just to blame the victim, the same way they do with every instance of misfortune. "Be born into wealth, you lazy bum!"
What will bring about systemic change? I fear it will take a lot of collective suffering to shake people up.

@kimlockhartga@beige.party I think that's correct. It will take a mass uprising and/or huge national strike to affect the trajectory of the U.S., and neither one of those will happen without extremely widespread, severe suffering, especially of the middle & upper middle class. Like not only the urban, but also the suburban and rural people who are doing pretty well, will have to be the main mass of people who stop participating in...well, daily life I guess.
