    The Cicero Institute also advocates legislation allowing new private prisons to enter the market and empowering governors to circumvent elected attorneys general by appointing ​“special prosecutors” to combat ​“public lawlessness.”

    And there we have the actual key to all of this.

    The goal is to reinstitute Victorian workhouses, updated for the modern age of private prisons and officially-sanctioned slave labor.

    That’s it - nothing more. It’s not even an attempt at anything like an actual solution to the growing problem of homelessness - it’s only and entirely that wealthy psychopaths like Lonsdale see homeless people as a resource that’s not currently being exploited and that they want to exploit. Entirely in order to further their own wealth and privilege, they want to imprison these human beings and make them into slaves.
