Palantir co-founder Joe Lonsdale is a major force pushing the Trump admin to lock up unhoused people.
Lonsdale founded "The Cicero Institute," a lobbying group, 8 years ago. Now they've been instrumental in passing laws criminalizing camping or sleeping in public in 16 states.
It's unclear why the billionaire has a passion project of getting homeless people incarcerated.

“Well, my day job is being a billionaire cofounder in the defense-tech space, but that’s not what defines me. My real passion is my side project -- a think tank that advocates public policy to enslave the homeless”
If I think about what it would mean to be the least fortunate creature on earth, I almost invariably think of the pigs housed in China's multi-storey factory farms. Their existence is a vision of hell, a pure aesthetic of evil.
Men dislike traveling today for a number of reason:
1. Everything is the same now, due to smartphones and globalism.
While this isn't exactly true, it's directionally correct. The differences are so diminished that the cost isn't worth it.
2. Everything has lost its romantic appeal via exposure.
We've seen more of the world via the internet and... it's pretty ugly. Familiarity has, in fact, bred contempt.
Instead of seeing distinct and interesting people, we basically see the entire world now as a global slum. That's why some people use the term "global browns" or similar. They see the traveling the world as akin to going to the ghetto, on purpose, and at great expense.
3. Airplane and boat travel are terrible, even in first class, and everything's a tourist trap now.
4. Traveling now doesn't feel like an adventure (which men like). Instead, it feels like an expensive way for women to get pictures for Instagram.
Men do want to conquer. Traveling just doesn't entail that anymore.
Having said that, there is a category of men who are just timid. That's another matter.
