He’s describing Maslows hierarchy of needs perfectly. When you don’t have the basics and are consistently in survival mode you can’t possibly progress in any remotely easy way

The sad part is we have the resources for everyone. They're just stuck behind a paywall.

Very well articulated. 🥺 There are billionaires that could help people like this so easily, but the billionaires just want MORE.

everyone asking "how can we help him" there are people in this situation in your city, doen the street. Ask them. give them money, food. say good morning. treat them like humans, join mutual aid groups in your area. its not about this one person who didnt deserve it, its about how nobody deserves this.

"...and then you're a monster." No, you're not a monster, you're a human being in need of support that hasn't been forthcoming.

My mom’s death led to my experience with homelessness. I was lucky to find a friends mom who gave me a room until I could find myself a place. I paid it forward and have given temporary housing to four people since.

“… and then you’re hungry so you’re in a bad mood and you can’t socialise….” this bit really got me because it’s not something I’ve thought about before.

reminder: the government can end homelessness and poverty, but it chooses not to. homelessness is not an individual failing, it is an entire society failing individual people.

This was the hardest part about working in psych for me. Seeing how people became homeless and what led to the current state of their mental health. It wasn’t drugs & alcohol. It was traumatic life events.
