Doing so supports the following: administrators, organizers, custodians, secretaries, directors, executives, superintendents, functionaries, and various bureaucrats.
Read about Belgium’s Miss Homeless contest. It’s aim is to “bring attention to the plight of the … homeless.”
And take note of the kind of money involved in supporting this industry here in Canada:
Well, at last count, there were 5000 homeless people in Toronto (3600 in homeless shelters, only 800 on the street). According to the City’s own statistics, the City of Toronto spent $161 million on various programs to help the homeless, or $31,000 per homeless person per year.
Hey, if taxpayers don’t pony up all that money, what will happen to those who make their livings “helping” the homeless? They could end up homeless — it’s a vicious circle.
Now it’s simply a rinse and repeat story. “We need more money for the Homeless Epidemic™.” In other words, my bro Johnny needs a cushy job.
And that’s the reason why I’m glad when someone says they want to bring attention to the plight of the homeless. So do I, I want everyone to know who’s responsible for a majority of it.
