And so the weight of this crisis falls like a ton of bricks on the backs of the homeless, poor and substance workers, as usual. Considering that that is a substantial part of our population now, well, who can recover from losing it all? That's a long, slow, slippery slope and without savings or a buffer or any assets, capitalism says bye-bye to you, worthless, used human resource.

Once you get evicted, try getting another place to live. That's more difficult than many people realize. You know, there are MANY people right now that you wouldn't even realize are the working poor and live in a tent or car. Would you advertise that?

We are going to desperately need a bailout for the people this time or Wall St. is going to have to live on mostly what the dwellers in the Elysium can provide in profit. This may be a culling of the herd in an economic sense, so it is absolutely vital that the vultures drop some carrion to the masses.
