Could unemployment and homelessness be solved with labor camps?
Solving America's issues by burning the candle at both ends:

Could trump pass an executive order where all Americans who have been unemployed for more than 2 months must report to agricultural labor camps?

There you will pick crops while waiting for an employment opportunity. Paid minimum wage minus room and board.

Is that how you will treat your war veterans now ? Put them in labor camps after they sacrifised everything so you can have a good life ?

That's practically communism, and it never goes well. 🤣 I'd never consider something so tyrannical because I'm pro free-world.

You have to entice your population, not force them.

If you can't, well. You're a low elo scrub politician.
In the 90s in the UK if you wanted work you got it on a daily basis.
Low pay no holiday allowance, below rights of everybody else in the work place but you could work.

A disappointment for me was farmers were complaining that they couldn't get workers so 'had' to go abroad and offer free board.
Yet in my area a lot of people would have jumped at the chance to work picking on a farm with free board.
It would have been better conditions than working on the industrial agencies and better treatment too.

I do miss the days you could just show up at an Agency about 6 am and likely to get work for that day.
There should be somewhere people can just show up and be given something to do.

Thought about disabled people? You should research how THAT class was treated WW2...
That is already planned it will come into effect in as little as 20 years
Several countries tried labour camps over the years maybe brush up on your history how that went ...
Homelessness cant be fixed that way, a lot of them are mental or on something and need instit help

That's called conscription.
That`s called slavery.

They already tried this with company towns. It didn't end well for anyone.
