That's a bit dramatic isn't it?
Sanctuaries, for example, on the show hold (or rather, imprison) unemployed people, as there are no jobs. AFAIk, the US is nowhere near a segregation state that ostracizes people once they lose their job.
Uh
Are you familiar with the concept of homelessness
Do you have a passport that states that you are not homeless and allows you entry to the main US?
It's called ID and it requires a permanent address
you're forgetting: the people in the Sanctuary were literally not allowed to leave. what parallels are there with modern unhoused people not having IDs? there's struggles yes but not literal incarceration.
damn, you all with these damn hyperboles.... I know we could improve society in a number of ways but come on, i keep reading comments on Lemmy that talk as if there were no possible way for society to get any worse.
Perhaps not as an outwardly stated and official government policy, but there is ostracizing of the unemployed.
