I can't imagine living in my car in one of the most expensive cities in the world, instead of just driving a couple hours in any direction and being able to afford an apartment.
You don't even have to go so far you can't visit family or whatever. It's just astonishing.

There are plenty of pharma companies out there willing to make billions from vaccinating half the human population.
So don't let cynicism get in the way of a good dollar.

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".

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.
