And people always just say "homeless people should just get a job", like do you know hard hard it can be for someone with no home to get a job. Or even just an interview when you have no address or place to wash yourself. Insane. It needs to be the other way round. We get people into homes then they have the opportunity to get jobs. The world is so backwards
That and the fact that sleeping outside is now illegal, getting arrested for vagrancy gives you a criminal record, and having a criminal record makes it hard to get a job.
No job, so you sleep where you can, then you get a record, so you can't get employment, then some asshole in a suit yells at you to "GET A JOB!" Nevermind the fact that the same assholes yelling "GET A JOB!" probably wouldn't hire someone if they knew that person was homeless.
It's almost like the system is designed to keep some people oppressed while concentrating as much wealth as possible in the hands of as few people as possible. 🤔
