RE: Strange things you see at Denny's
There are huge swaths of the country where two full time jobs don't pay enough to afford housing.
Tonight there will be 40k homeless veterans in the usa.
I wrote this lost about poverty in the USA.
I've heard this argument time and again. The thing is, immigrants, both legal and illegal, with numerous disadvantages seem to make it work. They share rooms. The families pool resources. They save.
I've met many veterans who would have done far better had they stayed in an environment where someone was keeping them in line. Some people simply need guidance and direction because don't have the mentality to plan, prepare, and persevere on their own.
