I work in homeless services. It's incredibly depressing how many people think America has a safety net that it really doesn't.

Yeah, when I was homeless, I was already beginning to turn left and knew that America didn't have much of a safety net. Once I was homeless for a bit, that's when I realized that we don't have a safety net at all, and ended up having to return to the place I was running away from. That experience radicalized me. Yet, I get people, including my own family, telling me about how good homeless people have it, knowing full well that I was homeless and me telling them otherwise. Just angering.
