I just want to know what they prioritized over rent. Being homeless totally sucks sometimes, it can be very hard to deal with anything else you need to spend money on when you live in your car or a shelter. Rent should have been one of the FIRST things they spent money on, if they think they couldn't handle it. Food was my top priority bill even though there are certainly pantries and food drives, but I want to eat other things. And then rent.

Things are definitely a mess in this country right now, but people still are dumb and don't think about these things. They go, "OMG I cannot live without my TV and expensive phone and delivery foods!" And spend money on that first. They also did not all curb their horrible spending habits.

This also is a time to seriously PREVENT going homeless. I can easily live in my car and did so for years, but I gave up on it for now. It's far harder when you don't have gym access and everything is closed and won't let you sit inside with a laptop for an hour or more because you might be carrying a goddamn disease.
