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.
What about all of those people who earn without working? Like, it’s literally what ALL financial independence literature says to do: don’t work for money, make your money work for you.
