Everything you are describing has been happening and increasing in severity for years.
Usually what happens in an economic contraction is that credit lending standards raise, not lessen.
The free market doesn’t give a shit about bad investments, which is what you are if your credit record sucks.
… And the government is basically now run by a bunch of AnCaps and Fascists.
We’re looking more likely to become an indentured servitude, debt slave, company town style society, you know, just like the 1890s, that Trump is trying to take us back to, back before the income tax and much of the government actually was funded via tariffs.
I’d love to be as optimistic as you are, but uh hey, when was the last time you fed a homeless person, personally?
America hates the homeless, shanty towns aren’t even possible anymore, those are all now ‘homeless encampments’ that are literally bulldozed away, and all the homeless in them are ‘referred’ to shelters that are already full.
The easiest propoganda line to have all the media blare at everyone is just that all the people driven into homelessness by losing a job, being unable to pay a debt, serious injury or illness… well they’re all violent drug addicts, and really they should all just die, or not be near me, ew.
Trump already called for creating concentration camps of massive tent cities built on the outskirts of cities for the homeless.
Even then the massive inequality we have requires a lot of force to keep together, if it gets too crazy there won’t be enough police officers in National Guardsman to keep Humpty together and then the rich won’t have anything either. We basically have to rebuild the entire Society from scratch using the infrastructure that hasn’t decayed yet and are ingenuity
So your outlook has switched from ‘companies will be easier on people’ to ‘society will basically completely collapse to something roughly resembling the fallout universe in 2240 just hopefully without the radiation’.

This is the plan, unless an actual revolution of some kind occurs.

… Sure, ok then, that’s quite a 180.
A revolution is exactly what we need.
