I’ve been homeless 3 times. The problem isn’t drugs or mental illness — it’s poverty.

"I was born into a middle-class family, but I've hovered near poverty level all
of my adult life because my line of work doesn't pay much."

A must read.

Via Frances Oostindie, Uche Eke and Muse, who added:

BANG ON! And the consequences people are ignoring is that when you treat the
poor badly, when you pull out all the safety nets, you then have no means by
which to protect your civil and human rights. No democracy is possible
without the fair treatment of all.

Cheers,
