They tried to fit a lot of ragebait into this article and headline, but the TL;DR appears to be that this company wants to build temporary housing near construction sites so workers don’t have to commute as far if they don’t want to. The only actually criticism of the temporary housing is that it’s “gray” but they note it has access to a gym. Clicking a link to the other article describing them says they have “free steaks” and access to golf. My cousin works in construction and some times gets job where the money is great but he has to drive 2 hours to the site and 2 hours home or even more. Temporary housing seems like it would be helpful while doing those jobs.

I like steak as much as the next guy but there's no way I'd eat the free "steak" offered to me by someone who owns an ICE facility.

  This just in: the facility just got bought by Soylent, LLC. They now offer smoothies as well as free steaks

    that sounds like misery. similar uses of nutraloaf have been ruled cruel and unusual punishment in the prison system

      I was sarcastically making a combination of Soylent (the meal replacement company), and its inspiration, the fictional Soylent Green [0], which secretly made its food products from processed human bodies.

Airlines regularly change the operating base of their flight and cabin crew. Then the crew is either forced to uproot their lives or rent a "crashpad", usually a small apartment stacked full of beds near their airport base.

  What does this have to do with construction workers and their temporary housing in this article? They can’t change the location of a construction site midway through building a structure.
