I don’t think they mean it literally. I think they’re pointing out the irony of calling people lazy when your own situation is often reduced in the same way.
That is slightly part of the problem but, no where near the totality of the issue. The broader issue is capitalism only works with the fear of homelessness and being cast out if you dont dance to their tune. Some of the population must be unemployed to keep the working class in fear. If you didnt have to work for housing, food, and healthcare, would you put up with the bullshit we do at a job? I certainly wouldn’t. They know that too.
As much as I was annoyed by the tone of the statement made by previous poster, we have to reach out and lift up. We cannot keep putting the boot down on people just because their life took a path or they are making choices we feel are incomprehensible and must require a defect of some sort.
We have to support each other cause the State ain’t coming over that hill to save the day.
People are homeless because they’re lazy, not poor.
Yes, fight amongst each other. Ignore the billionaires, attack each other.
Or unable to get a stable full time job, maybe none exists, or not enough for everyone.

People are homeless because of mental illness and drugs.

That’s people on the street, the majority is people couch surfing or sleeping in their car. Where the only issue is money, not mental health at all.
