Yeah that’s just a prison. Also, calling it now, they are not going to let the people held there vote.
Or they’ll intentionally put voting locations as far away from this place as possible so the fewest of them can get there.
Based off the address given for the site in the original article and what vote 411 dot org gave for that address’ voting site, this is the trek:
So four hours and twelve minutes of walking, assuming the people who are housed here aren’t allowed to have free parking spaces, and not counting how long they’d have to stay in line to vote?
Even the public transit option is three and a half hours round trip and requires walking by an interstate on/off ramp. And if SLC is like most American cities, that public transit is going to be unreliable.
In Amerikkka you need to walk across two interstate highways to reach a voting center from your prison camp that you’re forced to live in so that the petite bourgeois can ignore your existence.
if SLC is like most American cities
it’s so much worse
It doesn’t sound like you’ll be able to leave, and I don’t think Utah is going to let them vote by mail
I’m calling it now: Electoralism in this country is completely false, the rich do what they want, and say we voted for to keep the working classes blaming each other.
Oh look, it’s bad timeline housing first. A direct product of neoliberal neglect. Keep trying to sweep homelessness under the rug by trying to make the homeless invisible while not tackling any of the root causes and continuing to underfund or under-support things that have been demonstrated to reduce homelessness, and this starts to look like the compassionate option to even some well-meaning people.
That’s so much more expensive than a simple tenement housing project. Like 1 kurchevkaya is the cheaper option.
Yeah but this is intended to create a business for some company that will be awarded a shitload of taxpayers money to keep the homeless barely alive and, more important, away from the cities.
Any when this thing goes wildly over budget, they’ll start cutting expenses until it becomes extermination camps.
kruschevka didn’t traditionally include extermination as the tacit goal and expectation
Help! Someone that’s good at solving social issues, help me budget this:
Housing: $500m
Food stamps: $100m
Healthcare: $500m
Cruelty: $10b
Education: $300m
My government can’t agree on a budget and we to solve these issues!
5 years from now we will find out that the made they internees grow poppy or coca or something like in a scanner darkly.
It just radiates the “poverty is a sin and sinners must be punished” vibes.
Not that I would disagree that drug addicts and mentally ill people need to be treated, by force if necessary. Does it just have to be so fucking dehumanizing. Also most of these people need a house of their own for “a cure” not an internment cell.
That kind of thinking requires empathy. Our enemy has none.
Death to SLC give Utah back to the Utes
I noted this.
Survivors of Brothers Home have alleged close cooperation between the camp and the Protestant Church. One former inmate reported being forced to perform in Christian plays for local and international guests and given Easter eggs as rewards. Another was sent to the camp by a Christian missionary. Another survivor described the church and the camp as a business operation run by Pastor Lim Young-soon and Director Park In-geun, with children forced to work and run an on-premises Korean adoption operation, including writing letters soliciting donations from families who have adopted children in the past. Some of the adoption partners abroad were also part of Christian organizations.
I wonder if the Mormon church will be involved in Trump’s concentration camp.
Gotta FP something with the ones that don’t end up in the fbi
So, they’re bringing back the poor farm aka the poorhouse https://www.poorfarmgeography.net/what-were-poor-farms/
