I ran into a homeless man yesterday. He told me that he had been displaced from his home in flint Michigan due to water safety issues. This unfortunately caused him to lose his job. His wife was still working as a CNA but due to rapidly rising inflation they were unable to make ends meet. This led to a deep stress in the household. He turned to alcohol and was soon forced out of his home by his wife. While on the streets he began taking harder drugs and soon OD’d on fentanyl. Luckily the paramedics were able to narcan him and bring him back to life. He’s now trying to turn his life around. I asked him if there was one thing I could do to help him and people like him what would it be? He looked up at me with tears in his eyes and said “the only thing that will help is a regime change war in Iran”.
