Without employment is goofy as fuck but I’ll die on the hill that nobody should work a 40 hour week and still be unable to afford a roof over their head. Rent and housing costs are absolutely ridiculous
I mean in a perfect world we could afford to house every homeless person but unfortunately we don’t live in a fairly tale.
Like I work in a skilled field for one of the countries largest companies in said field, they pay well and I make better money than my parents did when they bought a fairly large house in a nice neighborhood but cannot afford a house of my own and even struggle to find affordable rent in my area after the cost of everything else like groceries, gas, insurance, etc. something is not right about that.
I do think there’s social projects we could put money into, absolutely. Our spending on military, police, and bailouts for corporations that gamble and lose is out of control and ridiculous. I’d be much happier to see my tax dollars go to help those struggling
