Criminalizing homelessness isn't an end in itself - it's the means to an end.
The desired end is to turn the US into a nation of peasants, in which those not of the billionaire class will only have two "choices" - to be wage slaves to the billionaires, or to go to prison and be literal slaves to the billionaires.

Option 4, go out guns blazing and kill a few of their class traitor goons on your way out. Better to die free than to live as a slave, no? Let’s see how the US midterms hash out, but I’m guessing there is some significant violence in its future. Hopefully directed the right way (up).
