    If he actually succeeds in doing this, guess who’s going to be made to fill in that hole.

      This is step one to collapsing Social Security and Medicare.

      Knee cap all the funding from folks who never collect on it, then say, see? It’s collapsing earlier than we thought.

        Illegals aren’t growing crops, prisons step in, now prisons are growing crops, now prisons are profiteering from growing crops, higher food prices despite the ““free”” labor as they have conflicts with farmers…

        messy messy messy situation

        Great if you own a prison, tho.

          Isn’t this basically the start of how megacorps destroyed the agriculture industry in Cyberpunk?

      If you lived in the 80’s, you know where you’re going with this.

      Prisons. Good old indentured servitude.

      Get ready for more jaywalking arrests.

      The funny part is that that is still likely less that a bus load of billionairs actually paying their taxes like the rest of us do.

      Obviously the answer is to tax billionaires, but that’s never going to happen.

        I’m writing a story where children are immediately under a birth debt once they are born and its an entire generations dream to get out from under that debt.
