Make America Grate Again

The main component missing from most reporting, and many conversations, about people without homes, 40% of whom are employed, some of whom live in their cars versus at encampments, is the people without homes, which tells you everything about why these conversations are so often not based in reality, or fail to reflect any semblance now of empathy.

Instead, these homeless stories seem to function as parables for the dull-minded to exalt themselves or something, or maybe to show how their unhappiness is the fault of someone else, someone worse off than them (rather than the wealthy running the society into the ground for personal profit and/or for funskies, cough), and someone without a voice makes a great scapegoat, after all: 

Make America grate again.
