I’m sorry but the idea that they’re going to use ICE captives to replace your plumber remains ridiculous. I see very few people using such a service if it were even offered, and certainly not enough people would use it to make getting into the trades not worth it.

Inmates aren’t used for individual homeowners. They’re used in corporate farms, public beautification projects, or fire fighting. Settings where it’s easier to manage groups in one place. Not have them roam around in place where they have unrestricted access to potential victims.

There’s a large amount of trade work to be done for individual homeowners. That’s my point. Of course you can have slaves clean the factory boilers, and in a cruel and unjust enough society it’s practically guaranteed that you will do so. But the idea of replacing plumbers with ICE prisoners is ridiculous. It’s much more likely that the plumbers would become ICE prisoners.

Homeownership is declining.

I don’t want an endless thread about this issue, because I don’t really care anyway. I have a plumber and the dude’s house is worth twice as much as mine.
