   #Homelessness is not a moral failing. It is the design/result of #capitalism

   The amount of #employed #homeless is actually shocking.

     @nando161 Makes me wonder how the price of drugs evolved.

     @nando161 one thing I noticed when doing outreach work, is that there is indeed a correlation between homelessness and drugs. But in the majority of cases, the person started using drugs to cope with being homeless. Which is the reverse of the common narrative.
     You try going for a week getting kicked awake by cops every time you fall asleep where people can see you, and see how long it takes before you're using chemicals to stay awake.
