being honest here, "down on their luck" is already a fucking joke. these people arn't poor because they diden't have enough luck, they are poor because the system they live in wants them to be poor, poverty and homelessness isn't a symptom, it's a feature.
Yeah, basically. You know, I don't think there is an evil mastermind behind any of it. We just basically made up a system that causes homelessness, but because it doesn't affect us, then we do nothing to fix it. Later on, when we are affected in old age or when we loose our home, we simply don't have a voice to say anything about it. So we do nothing.
the funny thing about that, the rich have class consciousness, they know from rational self-interest what to do
