This is horrifying. We're watching the American people get squeezed out of their homes into fucking motels after doing everything they could to stay afloat. This is awful.
And then the government spends more tax payer money on housing them in motels than it would cost to house them properly, because those funds are only available for emergencies.
But at least we can rest easy knowing profit was extorted to the Mac along the way to create a market humanity doesn't need.
