    But tjose people are so important to society!

    See, the very poor/destitute serve as a triple threat to discipline the working class!

    As an example of what happens when you dont crush yourself into a life of being exploited

    As a release valve for emergency labor-it doesn’t have to actually be viable, just believable to enough prople

    And as a class they can look down on and fear, an enemy to justify the presence of and valirize the practice of policing, especially when they’re forced into close contact. It’s why out of the way camps are violently cleared, but there are tents on sidewalks in major cities.
