You don’t understand. Lemmy, like all social media, runs on outrage. How are we supposed to hate the prison industry if what’s going on has a perfectly reasonable explanation? I need to feel hate with my morning coffee, because I need to feel something.
Of all the horrible things on your list this is the worst. If people can’t get insurance they can’t get a mortgage. People can’t buy a house without a mortgage. Housing prices will collapse. And do you know who’s going to buy them for pennies on the dollar? Corporations, private equity, and billionaires. The economy will do a repeat the 2008 mortgage crisis, millions in the middle class will find themselves poor, many will be homeless.
It’s also the one most likely to happen because it’s already started.
