DazharionThe fuck is the point
KorhakaI’m disabled and homeless and eat veggies, fruit, pasta, bread, cheese and protein on a daily basis at about $7 a day. people eat fast food because they are lazy, not poor.
Inevitable Waffles [Ohio]I wanna say first that is a tragedy you are homeless and I wish the best for you in finding permanent lodging but your statement raises some questions. How are you preparing these foods? If you are as homeless as you purport, are you using a campfire, or a communal kitchen, or are your meals prepared for you? How are you procuring your groceries?
No OP, but just so you are aware, homeless can mean no permanent domicile in lots of ways. So, someone living out of their car, camping, staying ad hoc in shelters or hostels or cheap accommodation is all different versions of homeless.
People are homeless because they’re lazy, not poor.
Or unable to get a stable full time job, maybe none exists, or not enough for everyone.
That’s people on the street, the majority is people couch surfing or sleeping in their car. Where the only issue is money, not mental health at all.
That is slightly part of the problem but, no where near the totality of the issue. The broader issue is capitalism only works with the fear of homelessness and being cast out if you dont dance to their tune. Some of the population must be unemployed to keep the working class in fear. If you didnt have to work for housing, food, and healthcare, would you put up with the bullshit we do at a job? I certainly wouldn’t. They know that too.
As much as I was annoyed by the tone of the statement made by previous poster, we have to reach out and lift up. We cannot keep putting the boot down on people just because their life took a path or they are making choices we feel are incomprehensible and must require a defect of some sort.
We have to support each other cause the State ain’t coming over that hill to save the day.
Yes, with 1 other caveat.
People will also eat at restaurants because they’re ashamed and embarrassed of their own cooking ability and don’t want to look bad in front of their peers.
Food deserts are a thing.
