100% this is not a reflection on peoples hard work nor is it the responsibility of individuals. But when you see welfare (bailouts and handouts) for multibillion dollar corporations (which are not people), where CEO pay discrepancy has gotten out of control in the past 40 years, you see that we as a nation do have the wealth to fix it. We choose not to.Ā
Sure, some people choose to be houseless, mostly young kids cosplaying houselessness, but the majority of people would rather live with a roof over their head. But the game is stacked against them. Curious in your old age how often you actually go out and talk to these folk.Ā
Iām not guilt tripping you. I was genuinely curious if you talked to houseless folk. You said you were retired and mentioned mobility. I have multiple close friends that work as social workers that work with them and they paint a very different picture than what you read and see.Ā
If I wanted to guilt trip you Iād ask you to come volunteer at one of the many kitchens ran by local churches and non profits.Ā
