I have a personal story. A girl a knew for a long time had a brother who was always ranting about the government, exporting american jobs and a decent wage. He was a tool and dye guy. Had a wife then he did something I guess in poor judgement. He sabotaged a job that was going to China. This he told me on the streets where he was living. He was fired, wife left him and he hated everything so he took to the streets.
Working in the busy district of th city I bumped into him in between to newspaper stands. I couldn't believe it he still ahd his sister's number, I called her and she said the same thing. He hates the world and wants nothing to do with it.
I started to get the same vibe from other homeless people, vets from nam, "lots" jobs disgusted with the systems. Guys with no legs, suffering from aids and hunger.
Its all just a fucked up situation that no matter how many I talk to I jsut can't rap my head around homelessness. I do know that the standard of living is going through the roof and wages are going down and rent seems to go up year after year.
