Thank you!! I’m incredibly happy that he has a home and it’s a sweet video, but honestly, I can’t describe this as “heartwarming” because this just makes me sad, not happy. For the rest of his life, he’s going to have to bear the difficulties of having had home instability and living in shelters or their cars as a child and THAT SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING IN A THE SAME COUNTRY (and even the same state or town) that people who have more money than they could possibly spend in 10 lifetimes also live.
There are far too many Americans who whole heartedly believe that what you just described would make "everyone" fake injuries or illness because "nobody wants to work anymore." 🙄
What I've seen from limited personal experience is there is a person here or there that probably "could" work - maybe at a great psychological or physical cost, but they could, and at some point they exited the workforce and never fully rejoin, either not working or working part time. It's not black and white, there is certainly a cost to telling every parent and everyone with a serious medical issue they have the right to prioritize things other than their job, but overall it seems to mean a good economy that doesn't come at the cost of our humanity.
