I was looking up poorhouses and I saw this in the Wikipedia article. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poorhouse

Is this the endgame of the end of Social Security? Are we looking at putting a whole class of poor people to work for the rest of their lives, until they age out of being able to work for their meager meals and lodging?

Like living on a commune except you are not a college student who eventually gets sick of it, and also you're a prisoner.

I used to say "There's no way Roe v Wade will ever be overturned", so what do I know?

Concentration camps are the go to republican "solution" for homeless people. They never propose anything resembling housing.

Trump already suggested moving the poor & unhomed to locations outside of cities, where they can be concentrated for easier services....
