Typical of the US Government's and big business' corporate greed.

A good example of how the US Government and big business shafted the poor ordinary folk way into the 1950s and got around anyone trying to help them by accusing them of being commies and slinging them in jail for refusing to answer the question of whether or not they were. Destroying a social housing project (and no doubt many others) for greed and an LA Dodgers stadium. Not much has changed there then in the ensuing 60 or 70 years.
