paked-botato:liberalsarecool:ptenterprises:“Socialism never took hold in America because the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat, but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires.” - source disputed, but accurateMore working class Americans than will admit are a paycheck or two from homeless.^^^ Most tbh. Half the people at the shelter I work for had never been homeless before but just one pay cut, medical emergency, unexpected death in the family, etc. later and there they are. I’d be willing to bet that most people on this site have at some point known someone who was homeless without having any idea. I nearly found myself in the same position shortly after I graduated college.Everyone loves to pretend that homeless people must have done something to get themselves into that position, and as long as they make the “right” choices it could never happen to them. But the truth is it could happen to almost anybody, regardless. -- source link
