The American mindset: “if they’re homeless, they clearly did something wrong and/or deserve it.”
Right, despite the biggest cause of homelessness: medical debt.
Citation needed.
Medical debt is the biggest cause of bankruptcies. I assume bankruptcy and homelessness are correlated, but I haven't seen stats on homelessness.
I certainly do not agree with that. My point is that this article itself conflates homelessness and addiction, which I think is a serious error.
I know. I mean this is the mindset that causes this conflation in the first place.
What specific information makes you think that?
