In reply to the discussion: 7 Things No One Tells You About Being Homeless - Cracked.com [View all]hunter
(38,311 posts)42. How difficult would it be to build safe secure homes for anyone who needs one?
Not difficult at all.
Homelessness serves another purpose in this society.
It's an act of state terrorism that forces people to accept wage slavery and tolerate entirely unacceptable working conditions.
The U.S.A. sucks.
We need to change that.
If there was any kind of eye-for-an-eye kind of justice there's quite a few uber-wealthy people who ought to be staring at the walls in prison cell or standing on the corners with cardboard signs begging for coins for the harm they've done to this nation's soul.
But no, there's not anyone who "deserves" abusive living conditions, not even the worst Wall Street criminal.
Everyone deserves a safe secure place to live for the simple fact they are human beings.
