      Here’s a reminder that there are nearly 14,000,000 vacant houses in America, and less than 650,000 homeless people. The math comes out to ~22 vacant houses for every single homeless person. I’ll give you one guess which income bracket owns the vast majority of those vacant houses…

        This should intrigue people who like a challenge idk

      Totally agree. What the fuck is a society that just cares about money and not people. Its not worth surviving.

        The sad thing is that it has been like this for so damn long it isn’t funny. And the people who like it this way will never go away.
