It's still true, at the end of the day a nice place to sleep is great but with no chance of advancement and little to no money a nice place to sleep becomes something to sell for your next meal. Take it with a pinch of salt if you will but that's my stance on it.

But it inspired her to hire homeless people for her company.

Let's not forget we're speaking from a position of privilege (I'm assuming most of us on here have a roof over our heads).. It's hard to know the real struggle of homelessness without having to live it. The woman comes from a place of hardship. Her words may seem ungrateful, but it seems to me like she is simply saying the truth as how she sees it. And ultimately, her words were heard and led to jobs for the homeless! That's the real message to take away from all this

A similarity I can compare this to was the girl who asked me why I thought I was helping suicidal teens when in reality I was just prolonging there suffering. It's all in perception. She herself was suicidal. It all is in how you perceive it.

I've come accross a few homeless people with "will work for food" signs, and approached them with small jobs that needed to be done around my house, cleanin/weeding the yard, fixing fences, etc. They look at me like I'm crazy and tell me that it's too much work and leave them alone! If you say you'll work for food, when someone offers you work, get off your ass and do it! Otherwise, don't display the sign.

By hiring ony homeless single parents, she' s discriminating against a whole lot of other homeless. If in the US, when is it ever legal to employ based on family situation?
