    I don’t think this is just about conservatives, it’s also about the owner class and their quality of life. But def significant overlap.

    Revealed: how companies made $100m clearing California homeless camps Public spending on private sweep contractors is soaring across the state – and unhoused people allege poor treatment

    This reminds of the gross, despicable private detention and private prison industry in America.

      They’re connected. How many times can you get detained overnight and have your entire life belongings destroyed before you fight the police officer detaining you?
