        So the homeless should be exploited for illegally low wages (a form of slavery) just like we treat certain immigrants?

        If your advice to people to help them get out of homelessness is to allow themselves to enter a slave market, you are part of the problem.

            If somebody is “legit” willing to work, why are you suggesting slavery is their best option?

            That’s fucked up and you have a lot of predatory and exploitative beliefs you should unlearn.

                If you think wage slavery is the solution to homelessness, I strongly urge you to look into sociopathy and maybe go get screened.

                    My father used to make the same claim as well. My father was a liar though. He never once offered a job to a homeless person.

                    I don’t think you have either, but regardless of that, offering to rent day labor at below market wages does nothing to solve homelessness.

        Not to mention they are not overseen by OSHA, so if you get hurt on the job, and you’re still homeless, you might die!

        What contractor wants to smell a homeless guy? How are they going to work? How does the contractor know he’s not a psychopath murderer? Do you even listen to yourself?
