    My freaking God. I volunteered at a local charity org a bit this summer and one of the first things they told us in orientation was that “most people think that poverty is about what people lack. But it’s actually a mindset.” That pissed me the heck off not gonna lie.

      Yeah, you should have told the homeless charity you just joined the truth about homelessness!

        It was a religious charity org. They weren’t spreading or accepting any evidence-based truth.
