Every dickhead MBA has learned about Maslow's hierarchy of needs, but they never apply it when looking at the poor. Concepts like positive externalities go right out the window.

We pay EXTRA to keep them on the streets.

I'm trying to increase crime!

Well, aside from the crime being perpetrated by richwhitemen.

There's a lot of people who are like "I don't want to pay for someone else!"

Those people should be scooped up and sent right to therapy. And maybe some basic social studies classes. And maybe a religious teacher if their faith instructs them to be kind and charitable to others.

The US wants slaves though, and wouldn't you know it, slavery is illegal in the US except for those incarcerated 🤔.

Punishment is profitable.

The cruelty is the point.

The day I quit shoplifting from walmart is the day they quit calling it shoplifting (I will never quit shoplifting from walmart)

"But I don't want to feed and house the poor. I want to assault them, maim them, kill them and blame them for all of my awful behavior."
