Nah. They’re going to first start with prisoners. We already use prison labor; they start making prisons worse as an inducement to get people to work. Getting out early now requires some prison labor.
Now that the homeless can get arrested, they get processed in the system as well. As states are now incentivized to arrest people, policing becomes much harsher.
States then cut housing benefits to push more people on the street. Children are tried as adults to get them to work.
That’s probably what they want to do… Luckily, this crazy first week was a great reminder the administration can’t actually govern. They can’t navigate the bureaucracy, they can move things around, but you can’t just sign a piece of paper with a sharpie and leverage the prison population… You have to actually organize things to make that happen

The federal government doesn’t have to organize anything. They can let the states do it.
