    Y’all Americans should look up Victorian Debtors Prisons and Workhouses.

    Because that’s what the conservatives want to bring back.

      I’m not saying they’re already back but years ago I knew a guy whose child got hit by a car a spent a week ish in the hospital before dying. He was young, not married to the mother of his child, financially liable for the bill, and uninsured. He ended up not being able to pay the bill and got sued by the hospital. He lost the case and the judge ended up finding him in contempt for not paying the bill and he got sentenced to like 6 months in jail.
