I think it selects for people who don't care. Or maybe it is a warning that it could happen to you if you don't suck up to your brat boss.

Ok, but that is a different thing than a specific political lean. I know quite a few folks who claim to care about the homeless, but those claims don’t ever translate to action. That leads me to suspect that what they actually care about is people believing they care about the homeless.

What do you expect those individuals to do about a nationwide systemic failure? Genuinely. Like what would they have to do to convince you they care?

They could just do something. One small thing…even locally. I don’t buy into this “the problem is too big” so all I am going to do is point it out.

Are you sure they're doing nothing? My political allies in Chicago are doing their best, and have made a lot of positive change. Maybe you're not paying attention

Good. Obviously my comment is not referring to them. You have my attention…so What are you doing about it?
