Lol gotta love the onion. TBF, the treatment of homeless people in the US really is quite shocking.
In the US, you either exploit or are exploited.
It isn't handled much better outside the US tbh.
Like I know this is mainly targeted towards the US but I hate how everyone acts like the US is the only nation with a homeless population problem
My country has almost none, we have shelters and social security. People don’t socialize with them a lot but otherwise they are full citizens, they can eat anywhere, take the bus, go to movies, etc. The ones with drug issues can get help and harm reduction. Most countries around me do the same. The US is the richest country on earth and CHOSES to do nothing.
You're country and neighbors are the minority when it comes to that. I've lived in a couple of countries with vastly different cultures and really it's all the same. The poor are treated like trash in various ways. US, Mexico, Japan, China, india any south American country. I'm not saying this in defense of the US but you're privileged in that regard.
