Over half a million homeless people in America is not a cause, it’s a symptom. A nation’s economy should to the best of our ability set everyone up to win. Yet ours does not. Those who hold the major levers of power don’t even think that would be a good idea. 1/3

From refusing to tax the very richest to corporate subsidies to absurd military budget, our biggest problem isn’t economic but moral: a willingness to see massive human suffering as an acceptable result of our economy’s driving impulse to give more to those who already have. 2/3

The only thing that will keep this country from an ultimate descent into societal madness is a massive change of heart.3/3

Setting everybody up to win could shorten a lot of people’s lives when it comes to people who suffer from addiction.

The cure is not to marginalized the homeless, blame them for our crime problems, blame their situation on drugs. The cure is to provide them with homes, a liveable income and the same respect and dignity we give each other.

Those who control the levers of power want the homeless to serve as a warning of what could happen to us if we dare to demand more for ourselves than soul-crushing labor and exploitation. They don’t want to solve the problem.

How’d you feel about Democrats unanimously giving away two national homelessness cures ($60B) to Raytheon and Ukraine in a snap of the fingers? Squad too?

I have met & worked with actual homeless ppl who had at least 2 jobs but still lived in a shelter. THEE most heartbraking & painful reality I've ever come to know. Why? Their jobs didn't pay enough. Housing was unaffordable & required hefty move-in costs in the $1000's.

Inevitable outcome of the Ownership Game: a society granting ultimate power to the wealthiest bubbles up the most greedy and sociopathic to the top. A few ruin everything for all the rest.
