Yep! I’m tired of being polite. Vagrant became homeless in the 80s. Ok sure. Now we’re supposed to say houseless because they do have homes! Their tent, cardboard box, etc. is their home and it’s rude to say otherwise? Oh god forbid we hurt their feelings. What about the homeowner who spent their hard earned life savings to buy a starter home that’s now surrounded by garbage tents? What about their feelings?
So I’m going back to vagrant. Fuck it. The word fits.
Those are some pretty radical ideas. My Sociology professor told me they don’t work. 🙄🤣🤣🤣

The utter disdain shown to those who play by the rules is body and soul breaking.
Please consider running for a local office. We need more clear thinking Americans to step up and keep speaking up!
