a buck or two an hour which undercuts those on the outside making 7.65 and hour.

Damn , does this sound like China to anyone else around here.

In the legislative and executive but the judicial is ignored.

There are some major league assholes ruling from the bench in some of the bluest areas of the country.

Most places have deals to guarantee a minimum daily occupancy.

The poor are nothing but chattel to make profit off of today.

All hail the corporation!

I was not aware of this. I was talking to a friend last week who was in town to attend a court hearing where her brother owed Salem Hospital 2000 dollars. I was surprised to hear that a hospital would sue some one. and surprised to learn that she was afraid they would jail her brother because he cannot pay.
I asked her if he filed H-CAP. she did not know.
What really bothers me, is who pays for the jail cost? does that have to also be paid by the person who is jailed? because that is exactly the system they had in feudal times.
I hope someone with knowledge in this matter can inform us. I am about to get all occupy around here.............

Then add prison costs on top of that. As a society, we'd save a bundle if we just paid the 2 grand for him.

And about anything else they can tack on.
