Re: I Used to Be Homeless
#3I wonder if the high minimum wage makes it harder to employ people who tend to be homeless. I ask because I see many young people homeless these days, and it isn't clear why they are homeless.

#4> People often ask me what they can do to help the homeless and I always say, "Just look around you!" When someone has so little, it doesn't take much to help. You can start by not judging the homeless.
This indeed where it all starts. There are so many voices telling us that these people aren't human, but deep down these rationalizations are just trying to cover the uncomfortable emotion we feel when we see a fellow human who is down on luck. Even if it's just $1 or a granola bar we can give, it can make a huge difference in someone's day. After all, the crisis they are going through is objectively more important than my comfort.

#5This man escaped homelessness by winning $50,000 on Wheel Of Fortune.
It seems like he might have an even more interesting story to tell than what's in this article.

What do you mean by "high minimum wage"? Federal minimum wage in the United States is still $7.25 which is not enough for someone to live on, especially in a high cost of living area. I don't understand.

Well, I'll venture into non-pc territory here, but for some reason immigrants do not seem to have the same homelessness problem, and undocumented workers can work for much less than Americans.

#9We have experienced a form of homelessness due to gang stalking and intimidation and a lack of the system doing anything about it because of Antisemitism: https://www.scribd.com/document/389212460/Antisemitism-in-We...

That's because undocumented workers live in undocumented housing which is to say illegally subdivided dwellings that people who aren't part of that community will not have access to even if they wanted to live in a fire trap.
