    So evict someone living paycheck to paycheck and force them onto the street, they won’t be able to afford to challenge it because they’d need to put up more money than they have, and then arrest them because homelessness is illegal.

        JD Vance has that weird Christian-Soviet obsession with bringing industrial production (EDIT: back from China etc) to the USA. Maybe bunking on factory territory included, like in good old year 1904.

        I know it’s a propaganda device, but what isn’t.

      Fuck, when you put it like that, it almost sounds like it was planned that way. What a funny cowinky-dink.
