surprised to see this downvoted so much. ofc its not ALL homeless ppl are homeless bc of this. but you never said all. this commentsection feels like some comunist echochamber no?
impressively wrong. minimum wage+food assistance+housing support is still not enough for a person to be off the street a lot of places. many of the chronically homeless need access to mental healthcare that hasn’t been available to the poor since the 80s. blaming homelessness on the homeless is impressively sadistic or ignorant, possibly both. if i’m being generous, i’m going to say pure ignorance. go talk to a homeless person. get to know them. listen to them talk about their struggles. if you can still believe homelessness is a personal failure after getting to know some of the unhoused people in your community… well… i’ll keep my thought to myself. i can’t keep it within server rules to be kind and empathetic towards you if you can’t be kind and empathetic to the homeless
I don’t care if I am right or wrong. There is no such thing as objective truth.
The same system that you are blaming for being unsupportive provides employment and livelihood for many rich and poor people. Poor people with skills and determination thrives. The rest is up to you. They can’t spoon feed you all the time. Just as much as you have the right, you have duties too.
You work, you earn. You earn, you eat and live. Simple as that.
In the same society, you can find fewer homeless people than people with residences. Can we use the same logic to infer that society promotes those people to have a home?
Wild definition of middle class. If you live paycheck to paycheck on a 40 hour minimum wage job you can hardly call yourself middle class. In countries without good health insurance, you can be one infected teeth away from bankruptcy. And you cannot simply choose a better job. You’re working 40 hours, how could you go to job interviews during normal work hours?
Many are homeless because of their choices or habits.

No, they are homeless because society has failed them.

Shut the fuck up
Dude, hard working people are at least middle class!
The majority of actual homeless people have jobs.

That is true but their choices or habits are influenced by the rotten society around them.
