[–] taladar@sh.itjust.works 14 points 2 years ago (2 children) My sister who is 4 years older than me has been homeless a few times, but she has her own issues. Maybe that is a radical idea to some but I for one think people shouldn't become homeless even if they have issues of any kind. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] applepie@kbin.social 10 points 2 years ago Good luck... We got adult single people with full time jobs going homeless. Until this basic issue is fixed, nothing can be fixed. permalink fedilink source parent [–] MrVilliam@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago Agreed. I don't think she's psychologically capable of caring for herself. I think there was some serious trauma because she graduated summa cum laude to get her ME degree, so to go from that to barely holding low level jobs like cart pusher has been pretty jarring to watch. But yeah, at the end of the day, everybody deserves food and shelter and healthcare. permalink fedilink source parent
