> a place where a single misfortune—perhaps a car crash or an illness or the loss of a job—can lead to ruin.

Is it wrong?

The US strongly discourages a strong social/family network (moving out at 18); and are being squeezed financially.

The government-run social safety networks are being starved.

Something has to change.

In China they believe Americans are out of work have no food, no medical care, etc.

Just the other day I saw the most obese homeless person. I regret not taking a photo.

Our homeless have a better life then many around the world.

Yea, my far relative lived in China for several years. Showed me his Tiktok feed -- amount of "how bad it is in US" content is astounding.

There are lots of obese homeless people in Brazil too and we aren't a rich country. Obesity is higher in the poorer areas too.
