TRIGGER WARNING: We have people self immolating because of genocides happening and because people are losing housing. This nation is going down and it’s the greed of the capitalists that’s the cause.

I’m basically in that elderly gentleman’s shoes as far as housing goes. I’m sorry to his family and to him for being pushed into this situation.

Elderly man self-immolates while being evicted.

Housing is a human right.

    The article stated it was an assisted care home. The wife had Parkinsons and the 82 year old man may have had medical conditions that needed care. A lot of those facilities charge medicare and take a portion of Social Security so it may not have cost them anything out of pocket. I don’t know the full story but it doesn’t sound like they were going to a shelter.
