    Ah, thank you. I was wondering what I might have accidentally insinuated to anger so many people.

    Indeed, homeless people are people just like us. And like all of us, they’re not immune to the effects of their circumstances. The point about going to a homeless person isn’t that they’re uniquely bad people. It’s that they were already purposely made homeless for this very purpose. To make people fear the homeless and punch down for their safety instead of up. If you send a homeless person, then regardless of whether they succeed at the job or not, they’ve taken attention away from those in power. If you send a drone, then everyone starts looking up.
