Every system starts to fail.

Respect, bro. You're super eloquent and talented at verbalizing an underreported perspective. Hope that may be your way out. Peace!

he’s so articulate, this is so sad.

There's 5000 schizophrenic fentanyl addicts for every one of these guys, and we pretend that isn't the case so we can spend 6B a year on non profits who don't solve the problem.

I lost both parents and my siblings as well. He's right. You have no idea how much of an emotional safety net you have with a family. Life is BRUTAL when you're on your own.

Feel this in my bones. So well put. But today I went to work, cooked, kept clean, healing from many injuries.. tomo to do the laundry, wash up and cook a big Slovakian meatball pasta I been planning. Love to you bro, we ain't monsters

Dear lord, I ask you to lift this young man up and help him get settled. Please give all of the homeless peace and access to the fruits of the holy spirit. In Jesus name, amen.

This is america. No protection for citizens, who didn't land on the lucky side. Billionaire ghouls, that got into a ready made bed through their family, feel entitled and never give.

I can guarantee he had support system around him and he burned bridges because he's a self deprecating smartass like in this video. I know shit gets tuff but dude go work literally anywhere and don't be in the most expensive city possible

Never met a long term homeless person where drug/alcohol abuse is not the primary driver, assuming they are not schizophrenic. I would hazard a guess it is no different here. It is a sad reality.

Very heavy. Makes one think why are we even a species.

God bless this man. Please pray for him

Thank you for the honesty. I hope things turn around for you. Some of the comments are shameful 😞

There are oil rigs, merchant marines, tree services, restaurants, construction sites, farms etc. If you eat cheap and work hard, buy a Japanese beater car, you'll make it. It's a 2 year slog to have money to find a roommate and rent a decent place. I did it.

we're all just a couple bad breaks away from maximum suckage, every single last one us assholes. The derp is not fair or forgiving.

This is America now. Everyone just calls you a freeloader if you're struggling, no matter how hard you try. No matter how grateful you are, its never good enough. I hope he finds rest

thank you for doing what you do. perspective = empathy = action. (ideally)

The 'system' didn't fail him, his family failed him.

Guys there's free housing in New York, this is not a real homeless person. I have been there, his situation is sad sure but he's doing better than the average person in the 3rd world. He has free food everyday, free phone, free clothes, free medical!!! I know cuase i've been him

This is sad. You would think the extended family would have done SOMETHING

Hope you offered him a job, bro. I know you can't give one to everyone, but he's a guy that should be capable of a better life, and with the amount of people you meet, it's the kind of thing you can start putting together. Think this is the next evolution for your project.

aw he looks just like her

@grok - Can you please tell us who this is, and any information about him?

Very sad situation but his articulation of it is beautiful. At the core of a lot of homeless people are circumstances like this. The rug pulled from underneath someone. He seems intelligent and kind.

@FringeViews The family unit has been under attack for so long. And when the centre cannot hold. Things fall apart. Parents are really struggling in this modern hellscape and the chicks are dropping out of nests like never before. It's the saddest thing

@Jason6842369881 Put this man in a suit and a fresh haircut and hes mogging most of us

This guy is more articulate than any CEO or billionaire I’ve ever listened to. If he learns to be pure evil like them he could go places.

the stare at the beginning is such a cringe interview cliche 💀

people are often shocked over how many homeless people that actually blend in

Yeah this guy is a retard and would've failed anyway

I’m really tired of cry baby losers, who live in the richest country in the world, complaining about how tough life is. Why do we give people like this the time of day?

What? You think like a loser and thus you are, sir.

The best advice I can give to the homeless MEN that are on the streets and staying clean is to move to an area that has more resources and they will help get you a small apartment as long as you stay clean and not play games.

@RobinSneed5 Just doing your thing, but can we please please please blame the Department of Education
