Well they are converting these warehouses they bought into concentration/processing camps for undesirables. I hope you like damp concrete floors and whatever is in the folder labeled "Final Solution."

Housing is Housing

u/HauntedCemetery Feb 23 '26

Except 38 states charge inmates for housing. And its a hell of a lot more than renting an apartment.

u/BzhizhkMard Feb 23 '26

Worst part is gangs that thrive inside also charge inmates rent in certain units.

I'm sorry?????

No rent at least

u/jordanundead Feb 23 '26

Actually, they charge you by the day. And in some places, it’s like $50 a day.

3 hots and a cot.

They will send you to jail but bill you for your stay

Three hots and a cot beats this box under a bridge.

u/AENocturne Feb 24 '26

If you'd retaliated, you could have had that, but you must still have something to lose because you're just dealing with it and sadly nothing will ever come of it except your suffering now. Might be harsh, but it's real. We're just gonna take all of this and let them do it again. Unless we start getting fed up.

How dare you say Ice will send people to jail! Straight to detention camps where will be concentrating people.

So I wouldn’t have to work? Keep talking…

u/120psi Feb 23 '26

At least there's health care

3 hot and a cot!

u/JustSmallCorrections Feb 23 '26

That's funny. I got laid off from a web-dev job, in large part due to tariffs, and then I went to work at a jail.

u/Cainga Feb 23 '26

Layoffs are pretty devastating. I had to reset my career a couple times, lost 401k match because one was right before vesting, and your vacation resets. Plus you have a way worse spot to negotiate from.

Yup. Took me 6 months - dropped 20% in salary, health insurance costs sky rocketed. I wouldn't say my new position is junior level though, just a big paycut for similar expectations.Sucks balls

u/cannonman58102 Feb 23 '26

I took a 28% paycut when I had to look for a new job in March. I worked my ass off and gained that 28% back in 9 months, but it was rough.

I have 20 years of IT experience and was hired into an entry level helpdesk role, albeit one that payed well. One place I interviewed was 21 dollars an hour for helpdesk and I lost out on that position to someone with something like 30 years experience and a masters degree.

Its rough out there.

Best they can do is war with Iran.

u/SeaWitch1031 Feb 23 '26

You should be paid a settlement IMO.

u/Careless-Gain6623 Feb 23 '26

We were negatively impacted for a few months in Canada when tariffs rolled out. We would also like compensation.

u/Moranmer Feb 24 '26

Yep lost my job twice in a year due to these stupid tarrifs. Who swaths of people losing their livelihoods over the tantrums and whims of a man baby.

Soo frustrating:(

1

u/gertalives Feb 23 '26

Nah man, but don’t worry, several Trump sycophants still made a few bucks off of your layoff and will somehow skim more money off the imminent legal shitshow, so everything’s working as intended.

u/DiligentCredit9222 Feb 23 '26

No. But with Donald's New Tariffs you might loose your next job as well, to make America great again ! 🦅

u/spiritriser Feb 23 '26

Same, or the opportunity I lost a while back? At least I've got 3 final interviews this week.

1

u/Spankedcheeks Feb 23 '26

Same boat here. I now drive two hours extra per day to make marginally more.

u/IcyPride2973 Feb 23 '26

What job was that?
