Addiction and mental illness are definitely the 1 and 1A of homelessness causes, and more often than not they're not exclusive. Most of the folks I work with are proud and don't much like the idea of getting government assistance.

It's not that simple. I work with a homeless population. They need money, and jobs, and housing, and medical care, and mental health care, and all the things other people need. One of the biggest issues is trying to figure out which one needs to come first.

I thought the title meant they disarmed him using a grenade. Still a great gif.

I mean, Cosa Nostra was not a good outfit. There's a reason they were basically wiped out by the government.

Marx's economic policies and theories are more in Capital than the Manifesto. The CM is much more a political phamplet than economic handbook.

A lot of history written after the fall of Rome argues that its very wealth and success led to it's destruction.

I blame my personal nemesis, Ayn Rand. Her whole philosophy of Objectivism poisoned the well of empathy for a not insignificant amount of people.

I think it's just as sad, because the poor old man lost track of his friends. I honestly hope he caught up with them and they all want out for drinks afterwards. For some reason, the multi-colored balloon and flowers makes it all sadder for me.

I hate to be "that guy" (not really) but the picture is from a 2007 parade in St. Petersburg called the Victory Parade, and the man is crying because he couldn't catch up to his friends who had pulled away. It's unknown if he was actually a WWII vet, but he is a military veteran nonetheless. The whole thing is documented on Snopes.
