    my view of homeless people changed forever when I learned that more than half of them were foster kids who aged out of the system and were left with no family or resources.

    Jesus, that’s dark.

      Sure, it may sound bad when children become homeless. But have you ever thought about how much money it saves? Just think of all the good things we can afford with all that money!

      Like anti-homeless park benches. Or those little speakers that emit ultra-high-pitched sounds so that young people don’t … enjoy … existing somewhere or something, idk.

      And just because I’m unable to actually satirize reality at the moment, yes, /s
