You’re implying that there is always employment choice which is untrue. I guess you could choose to be unhoused without medical care and food.
So, first, food is plentiful. No one starves in the usa. Not even the homeless.
Being homeless was much better than working at, say, Burger King or Walmart. At least it was for me.
Please read the above comment. Let’s not lose track of the fact that anyone who needs a salary to support themselves is working class. The main point is mobilize against the billionaires. Anything else is wasted time.
