TRIGGER WARNING: We have people self immolating because of genocides happening and because people are losing housing. This nation is going down and it's the greed of the capitalists that's the cause.

I'm basically in that elderly gentleman's shoes as far as housing goes. I'm sorry to his family and to him for being pushed into this situation.

Elderly man self-immolates while being evicted.

Housing is a human right.

I did have resources I was able to leverage, unlike many others.

You ever stop to wonder if lack of such resources is what leads to said "mental health issues," which are really the logical consequence of deprivation?
