      Well, look at it from the bright side: the person in this picture does have a roof over their head.

      Do I need to slap an /s on it?

        Somebody somewhere will eventually downvote it either way:-P.

        Although there’s also some truth to it, in being one of the reasons that people end up behind bars.

          Mexicans have it pretty good actually - most immigrants these days are people just passing through it from further south.

        Fwiw, it wasn’t always - the government used to have a top marginal tax rate of 90 fucking percent, and money was just handed out by outright socialist policies. Maybe that wasn’t good either, especially when distributed primarily exclusively to white families, but dayum the pendulum sure has swung the other direction now that people learned that minorities might get some ever so small slice of that pie. Yeah, surely better to turn us all into slaves than for that to happen. (To be clear, I am joking, and actually unfortunately so bc with globalization and automation, the ultra wealthy don’t really even need slaves at all, so better for the population to just fall to levels that they can more easily control.)
