“Happy Holidays”
There are 45+ Millions Americans living near or in poverty. 4 Millions of these live in "Absolute Poverty or 3rd World level want.
Perhaps near 5 Millions are Homeless.
The figures are uncertain because these are difficult to count.
Many are partial houseless.
That is as seasonal workers can be.
That or being put up by family or friends.
This is always very temporary.
Also a million or more never show up at shelters.
They don't apply for assistance.
This for many reasons. I didn't when I was Houseless.
My main fear while out there was being rescued by cops or social
workers. The worse were the paid hunters.
They go paid by the head to collect the Homeless.
You get sent out of the city to one of them hell hole containment centers isolated in the middle of nowhere.
Folks get raped, and killed there.
In that mind a festive beginning to your comfortable oblivious Holiday Season. All the best to you, and all your families.
Calculating a middle class meal from my poverty. One plate one serving would feed three. If rationed it could feed one for five days.
Been there done that.
Eat well.
