Ivory Tower BS

Well, what can I say? Over and over again the "system" proves it cares not a lick for the people it professes to help.

Every conversation I've ever had or witnessed in the boardrooms of government, agencies, organizations...whatever...was, at best, about people and not for them. I really don't care what people say, what justifications they use, it's all a lot of BS. When you talk about people you objectify them. When you justify actions that result in the harm (or lack of help) of the marginalized, you are doing one thing: justifying yourself.

I don't know the answer. But in a city that has a "10 year plan to end homelessness" that's been gathering dust on a shelf of years while people are dying, well, it becomes pretty obvious that talk is cheap.
