Fighting Homelessness, One Smartphone at a Time

Humans as a species don't have the best financial judgement, which is one of the reasons we have homelessness to begin with.

Even if everyone had an ivy league degree, with a cell phone, and was physically healthy, we'd still have unemployment as our economy isn't producing enough jobs for humans.. And unemployment + time with no savings to burn through eventually equals homelessness.

Is your point that everyone has the same financial judgement, or that homeless people as a group have no better or worse financial judgement than anyone else? Or something else?

That our collective financial judgement has produced homelessness, more so than the "poor decisions" of any individual.
