    Gotta protect those homeless people from being stuck in a predatory job that gives them food and shelter?

      Rephrased: let’s incentivize homelessness so we can use them as de facto slaves because they won’t make money so can’t escape.

      We tried that before. Corporate towns were hell. The minimum wage wasn’t created because we are just so nice. It was to address a problem.
