      Let’s put some old people on the streets and let’s let children starve.

      And if you’re the prime age you better tow the line or you know what’s coming. Just like we did to your parents and will do to your children.

      I would actually bet the new GTA coming out will get widely panned for bad writing. The games are like 80% exaggerated satire, and satire is nearly impossible now.

    Homelessness is a for-profit industry.

    Oh they will incorporate as non-profits. But everything they do screams operational as a for-profit and they will exploit and extract every single penny nickel and dime they can.
