Bullshit. Conservatives don't want people living in tents. I'm tired of all this propaganda. They clearly want anyone who can't afford a house in a prison, not a tent.

Was it Kemi or Priti in the UK who wanted to arrest unhoused people for having a tent?

One of the ghouls. It's so hard to keep up with the cruelty and scandals

It was Priti iirc. Kemi is the one who wants to genocide transgender people.

Which is more expensive for the state, i.e., even from a pure capitalist point of view the least favorable option.

From a Pure capitalist POV, the only thing wrong with that scenario is that the prisoners probably won't be working. Or won't be working enough. Capitalism isn't concerned with a balanced state budget

Nah in America prisoners are literal slaves as allowed in the 13th amendment so the GAP and Nike will be plenty happy the more people are in prison. :(

This. And same with the libs. Any time people try to set up a safe tent encampment, the pigs come through to brutalize and move them along.
