In the same society, you can find fewer homeless people than people with residences. Can we use the same logic to infer that society promotes those people to have a home?
Wild definition of middle class. If you live paycheck to paycheck on a 40 hour minimum wage job you can hardly call yourself middle class. In countries without good health insurance, you can be one infected teeth away from bankruptcy. And you cannot simply choose a better job. You’re working 40 hours, how could you go to job interviews during normal work hours?
surprised to see this downvoted so much. ofc its not ALL homeless ppl are homeless bc of this. but you never said all. this commentsection feels like some comunist echochamber no?
Many are homeless because of their choices or habits.
Fuck off bigot.
No, they are homeless because society has failed them.

Not really, because we’re talking about what serves people best.
Most people have homes under virtually any political and economic system. So, when we do compare, we know capitalism fails us way more often.
You can find homeless people in communist states. So, is it really capitalism that drives people homeless?
Name one communist state, as in a state that has communism as an economic system
Socialism is generally associated with greater housing availability and lower levels of extreme poverty.
Shut the fuck up
Dude, hard working people are at least middle class!

It always is. Most of us (including you and me) here are anti-establishments. But some are extremist. They will blame the system for everything.
yea i mean, sure the system is faulty but not EVERYTHING is its fault
That is true but their choices or habits are influenced by the rotten society around them.
