RE What happened to calling them bums? Deadbeats? Vagrants?

That pre-PC and woke stuff went out with our freedom of speech.

Now a person “experiencing houselessness” may have earlier been “involved in the criminal justice system” (convicted of a crime but was not in a prison——it was a “correctional center” and will sue if someone calls them a bum.
