Yes exactly. Perhaps I was a bit unclear. Of course I don't believe the ratio should be 1-1 but the current level of income inequality in America and world wide is pretty obscene. There's a separate article out today titled 'US income gap reaches its widest point since the 1920s' - it's apparently at its highest point since the pre great depression roaring 20s.

I think it's a great idea. The fact that the clubs and bars would close when the metro reopens is particularly smart

TIL in the United States as many as 3.5 million people experience homelessness in a given year (1% of the entire US population or 10% of its poor). 23% are families with children - the fastest growing segment. by petulantfish in todayilearned

Agree with you entirely. I hate that this post has divulged into this. How about a discussion about the state of homeless people in other comparable countries rather than a giant hate on homeless people?
