Another example of America trying to pass a dystopian nightmare as an inspirational story.

I mean it's still inspirational, but at the same time also fck the system that allowed this.

"Inspirational" is an odd word for this, what is the inspiration? Don't be homeless? But yeah, fck the system...

A comeback story is always inspirational. Especially when the reason is a medical emergency cuz it can happen to anyone.

Hard disagree. This is propaganda to make us feel good, as in, "See America? The system isn't broken, these people are taken care of, isn't that nice?"

I mean I didn't see it that way, actually quite the opposite. I hope the majority of people saw it that way as well.

A comeback story is always inspirational.

Not when the reason for the comeback could have been avoided in the first place. Because you mention "medical emergency" I assume you're American, where these emergencies can destroy families. I'm not OK with that.

Nah I'm not American, I was just speaking from their perspective. Also, lots of countries have shitty healthcare systems.

agreed! it does feel good to watch him process having a home again. more people should have this experience, and fewer people should be put through that in the first place
