We could end homelessness TODAY, if we really wanted to.

This is a feature of capitalism, not a bug. Homelessness is req'd by the system. Because if there was no threat of being homeless, employees would feel safer to demand higher wages and healthcare independent of employment. Keeps the poor in check w/ the status quo.

@theserfstv lol the bums ruined those hotels and the free money made everything cost a fortune.

Bro how would you have paid for all those hotel rooms for 200k people in perpetuity?

Yes and money also just falls out of the sky

That's the problem. They don't want to. And by they I mean the people who have most of the money.

@SomewhereinATX Yup, we could practically end homelessness, yet choose not to in this country...

Cruelty is the point

There's so many things we could accomplish. Our potential is severely suppressed with how things are going right now.😭

something i was thinking about today- nearly 1 mil new houses are built every year in the US, and yet the homeless population increases by about 5k per year.
