    Please don’t attack the most vulnerable of our society without research. The question of why many homeless people have cell phones is a complex one, often rooted in misconceptions about homelessness and the true value a phone provides in this situation: https://www.homelesslongisland.org/post/why-is-it-that-most-homeless-have-cell-phones "How a society treats its most vulnerable is always a measure of its humanity” ☮️ ✌️

      You realize the comment you are replying to does not actually support acting that way, but is ridiculing people who actually hold that viewpoint, right?

        Which makes it still a very applicable comment to reply to with more information on the subject. Again, for everyone else reading.
