Ask for help? This country is built around avoiding meaningful help for others because of “freedom”. You are free to live in a box under a bridge. Free to lack upward mobility. Free to be jailed because of homelessness, drug addiction or mental health problems. Free to lose your home because of a health problem. Help is “socialism” in this country. Can’t have that. Gotta have those freedoms instead.

In America, you are not free to live under a bridge. People get run off of that situation all the time.

The bridges around here all have no trespassing signs. In English and Spanish despite this being Indiana.

You'd think they'd at least have it written in Indian.

:P
