I liked my Pacer but a friend said it looked like a Puerto Rican hearse.

AMC Pacers did that. There was never a recall and they never told anyone it happened. It was an intermittent problem and it would restart right away without having to pull over and stop.

A bit sensitive are are we? Your sister, I'm guessing, is now about 40. Ask her if she's offended.

It looks like we're about the same age. If I send my number would you have your sister call please. I'd like to buy her coffee - or a house.

I addressed that in an earlier comment, "Sure, it isn't a straight drop, there are catch holds along the way but all are temporary."

There are too many people who would rather starve themselves than see someone else get a free meal.

Schwab is encouraging investments but living paycheck-to-paycheck numbers are in that area.

You read through the comments and many are pretty caustic from people who refuse to believe homelessness could happen to them. Sure, it isn't a straight drop, there are catch holds along the way but all are temporary.

OP argues, and I agree, that secure accommodation is the key. Countries which have taken that approach have been way more successful than the US. Coincidentally those countries also have a significantly lower wealth gap than we do.

You seem to be of the impression that homeless/drug user are a given combination. It's almost axiomatic that homeless folk don't have any money. So, who's giving away free drugs? Inquiring minds want to know.

I was going to expand on your comment but I think you got it all. What remains to be seen is if 'good' people can or will step up to a degree necessary to make a difference.

Ben Franklin, after the close of the Constitutional Convention of 1787, was asked what kind of government the people could expect. He replied, "A republic, if you can keep it."
