Is the purpose not to paint those who have not engaged for more than seven years, and by extension all of those in Project Glas, as people who are not engaging with the bank and should not be respected? They are trouble. They should not be treated as human beings who have the right to access to homes. The purpose is basically to paint them in a certain light in order to justify throwing them to the vultures. That is why that was there. It is why it was given such prominence. It could be seven years, it could be six years, it could be five years. The purpose is to demean those people and then by extension all of those in Project Glas.
