    In addition to the appalling foster care kid stats for homeless, around 13% of homeless are veterans (obviously some qualify as both). Funny how support for the military dries up once they get discharged.

    Then we have the complete lack of any kind of assistance for the mentally ill.

    We shouldn’t even pretend that we are civilized. We treat our fellow humans so barbarically.

    fuck.

    One in four foster kids will end up homeless.

    https://nfyi.org/issues/homelessness/

    up to 3 out of 10 homeless people are foster kids who aged out.

    what the fuck.

    I thought it was bad enough knowing about the veteran rights.

    some of the studies show higher rates.

    The studies. on the homeless children.

        So when conservatives want to ban abortions they are basically trying to increase the flow in this pipeline to get more prison slave labor
