What's your point?

I've been homeless before, it sucks.

I had no phone, no car, no help, and I thought I might die, or get raped by the hundreds of predatory men you meet on the streets. (Nobody likes to talk about that eh?)

My point is, nobody should just accept a life on the streets, there's a way out for pretty much everyone, you just gotta fight for it.

I agree it's really important.

But all the talk about "representation" generates the impression that he didn't get there based on merit, especially to those around him.

The news can say "First X to Z!", but the statement from the selecting agency should always be "They were the best one for the job".
