When I was homeless and collecting recyclables for the money, thus picking up after housed people with zero respect for the land who just threw stuff on the ground everywhere, I often called it land of the sleeze, home of the depraved.

Yeah as in, people are free to be homeless if they didn't work hard enough. It's the Trump argument, he's a self-made man who kicked off with a small loan of just one million. A lot of Republican, anti-socialist voters are poor, but don't see themselves as poor but "temporarily underfinanced". And the truly destitute / homeless apparently lose their right to vote.

His father was a multi-millionaire [1], Donald Trump has never had to work hard for his wealth, he inherited it.
I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to say anyway.
I've lived in two major cities of the world, spent time in many others; However, I've never seen anything as bad as San Francisco and surrounding areas. Some of my colleagues are from Europe and felt so shocked and uneasy about what we saw.
I hate to say it, but it definitely left a bad impression of the USA on my friends and I. It certainly made me question a lot of the things the US claims to stand for.
