n5667, Anonymous Poster, and Chicano 831 can all wind up sharing the sidewalk with the ones you call "bums' and "trolls."

"Tough luck" said Chicano 831, who blames bad personal choices and not the system for homeless people.

There are many reasons people become homeless, Maybe they were laid off their jobs , or their rent skyrocketed when their buildings were sold (0ur friends rent went from $700 a month to $1500 and he became homeless. Or maybe they got thousands of dollars worth of medical bills and their houses got repossessed. Maybe their apt burned down.

The system spends 500 BILLION a year (5,000 million) on killing people instead of providing mental health services, job training for homeless people and womens shelters (for homeless women fleeing violent men). How about all the homeless teenagers and pre teens fleeing sexual abuse and battery?

How dare you look down your snobby noses at other Americans who are not as fortunate as you (still) are (until you get laid off or your rent goes up or you have a medical emergency and cant work) Then you will be tossed into the street by a system that only values you for your ability to be a wage slave.

Your attitude of contempt is like the rich psychopaths who run the world. Get human or shut upl
