What utter nonsense. Sure some companies screw up for decades, they are
in declining industries, they fail. At the same time other companies
are growing, hiring, welcome to the real world. I guess you're so
stupid that if your employer was declining, you couldn't find another
job? That's what those employees did, they didn't just suddenly become
homeless, stupid.
What I stated was that most homeless people are alcoholics, drug addicts,
and/or have mental illness. It's a fact.

In 2017, there were approximately 554,000 homeless people in the United States. The US homeless population is increasing yearly, particularly in younger age ranges. Tragically, homelessness and addiction go hand in hand. The end result of homelessness is often substance abuse, and substance abuse often contributes to homelessness. The National Coalition for the Homeless has found that 38% of homeless people are alcohol dependent, and 26% are dependent on other harmful chemicals.
Homelessness, Mental Disorders, and Addiction
Reports suggest 33% of homeless people battle mental illness. Sources cite mental illness as another major cause of homelessness, which often leads to drug and alcohol abuse. Common mental disorders the homeless struggle with include:
Bipolar disorder
Paranoia/Delusions
Schizophrenia/Schizoaffective disorder
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (particularly high in homeless veterans)
Major depressive disorder
Severe anxiety

SUMMARY: In January 2015, the most extensive survey ever undertaken found 564,708 people were homeless on a given night in the United States. Depending on the age group in question, and how homelessness is defined, the consensus estimate as of 2014 was that, at minimum, 25 percent of the American homelessâ140,000 individualsâwere seriously mentally ill at any given point in time. Forty-five percent of the homelessâ250,000 individualsâhad any mental illness

Homelessness and drug addiction is a dreadful problem plaguing the nation. More than 1 million people are homeless, with approximately 30 percent of these people suffering from mental illness and 50 percent chronically addicted to drugs, alcohol or both. Approximately 70 percent of homeless veterans are estimated to be substance abusers.
That's why most are homeless, not because Polaroid closed, stupid.
Wrong, always wrong.
The assertion that most of the homeless "are homeless because of
drug or alcohol addiction and/or mental illness" marks you as a
particular sort of ill-informed right-wing nitwit, not that we
needed to be reminded of that depressing fact.
It's a very basic fact, stupid.
No, it is not a very basic fact. It is not even any fact at all,
stupid.
Ask the folks of Rochester New York if they were addicted when
Polaroid and Kodak pulled out and they all lost jobs and homes.

You take stupid non-stat boy to an all new low, boy.
Wrong, always wrong.
Your not going to solve the problem, help reduce the homeless
population by ignoring the basic facts.
Right wing nitwits don't seem to see the irony involved in that
kind of assertion.
Libs just deny the basic facts and base their decisions instead on
feelings and emotions. Thanks for demonstrating that again for
all.
Another couple of retarded assumptions, by the s.e.d grand
assumption retard.
There is a myriad of reasons why our homeless got that way, and you
only hit on a couple, so that decidedly does NOT count as "most of".
And THAT decidedly pegs you as the total nitwit you have been
showing yourself to be.
