I had an interesting conversation this morning with a homeless guy. Employed, but not enough to pay rent. Clean and well dressed. Talked with justifiable pride, I think, about the system he has set up. A gym membership to stay clean and healthy. A locker to store his tent and gear during the day.

Talked about how violent the shelter system is.

It’s a deep cruelty that in a land of such abundance we deny basic necessities to people.

@PapyrusBrigade too true, in Denver many people prefer the streets to being basically strip searched for drugs every afternoon before being locked into an overcrowded room all night being constantly vigilant to defend yourself against random psychos beating the shit out of you or getting robbed or raped by people the cops refuse to arrest every morning because homeless crimes against other homeless people aren't worth their time.
