“Is that how they get their monthly Husseincare premium bill?”

That is ridiculous on so many levels. For one point, I believe those with what you call “Husseincare” receive housing.

Why do you even post if you can not add anything positive?

The article is correct, no one ‘chooses to be homeless. All it takes a circumstances to match up with a couple of poor decisions and there you are. . .

Homelessness is not impossible to escape but at times some offers to help have too many strings. Also, after being homeless for a while a person learns there is a kind of freedom with the title.

Near the end of our interview, Huck lets me know that he and several others on /r/vagabond have just been featured on an episode of Upvoted, Reddit’s weekly podcast, where they’re celebrated, not stigmatized. “I’ve found a way to be homeless without starving or begging or sleeping in ditches,” he says. “I’ve become a professional vagabond, and this is the lifestyle that I love.”

Money line: A--hole is a homeless parasite (I notice he didn't rule out "thievery" from his celebrated "lifestyle") because he likes it.

The LAT does not exist in reality. I actually read some of that rambling wordy cow flop...Somethings never change.

Don’t waste your time with LAT. It’s about 98 percent BS, 100 percent of the time.

I know plenty of homeless who chose to be homeless for the very “freedom” you mention. They come into mission looking for handouts. When offered employment or a place to live they aren’t interested.
