I am disgusted that poverty continues to be considered a failing of the individual when it should in reality be considered a failing of the group, and that group is America as a whole.
Seriously, do other countries struggle with homelessness anywhere near this badly?
In Germany we have had a significant rise in homelessness lately. Hompless people are present in every city. France feels very much the same when I visit. Britain has loads of them.
We as a group maybe is not just US-Americans after all, but the minority world (the “West”) as a whole.
It’s a systemic issue, that is for sure. It just not on my the US system that is fucked. Maybe a bit more fucked, as Homelessness is more widespread that in Europe. But defenetly not exclusive to the US.
Yes. Parts of Canada have serious homelessness problems and many cities like mine like to pretend we don’t. Our mayor routinely gets the police involved to relocate them and then is just like see problem solved!
