I knew poverty was profitable independent of this. People desperate for any income at all will accept working conditions anyone else would reject. So widespread poverty is a massive financial boon to all employers, they can offer lower wages and benefits.

I wasn't aware of that rent situation. That's deplorable.

I live in a conservative area and I have a lot of conservative family members and acquaintances. But the older I get, the more I think we should just scrap most of the US local, state, and federal system and just adopt the current laws and programs in Denmark or maybe Finland.
