But they won’t drive you to become homeless because it stop you from paying them. They may keep you not rich but never is their intention to keep you so poor that they can’t get a penny from you.
Think of it as a remainder from a math problem. To keep a subservient middle class stretched across the lowest income brackets, you’re going to have a certain percentage of people who simply can’t afford to exist. They know that, it’s inherent to the system. It’s like that story, “The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas.” That’s why there’s never any serious interest in fixing the problem - it’s just going to keep happening because the system generates it, so housing everyone homeless right now wouldn’t solve homelessness in 10 or 20 years time, it’d start all over again. Systemic.
Agree with your point. But putting them in the homeless condition won’t serve the elite either. You don’t kill your milking cow. You need to keep them dependent yet capable to provide for you.
Even if paradoxically well paid workers would be better as they’d have more money to spend on things, billionares only focus on what immediately creates profits and that means paying their workers as low a wage as possible. When homelessness exists it means you HAVE to work to survive. You either take the job that pays you far less than the work is worth or you’re left on the streets.
No, they will. The underclass is the implied threat of violence against you for not surrendering your productivity and your own meagre scraps of surplus value to them as their slaves.
It serves their purpose to make you homeless to ensure others continue to grind themselves to death.
