12:17 "help homeless people not be homeless"

Depends a bit on how one does it.

Matt Walsh did a piece on a couple who had been offered "an appartment" ... the "appartment" was one in a facility for different types of disabled persons with routines partly reminiscent of how old peoples homes are run.

In other words, they were not offered an actual home, it was just that they weren't homeless any more. I generally have some liking for Matt Walsh, but that video and his reaction against El pendón estrellado (which made me look up what the Star Spangled Banner actually was about - I had no idea of the situation behind "And the rockets' red glare / The bombs bursting in air" I thought it was just generic battle scenery to show the Banner served a military purpose ... and I found out how that banner served so much more in the life of a poet who thought the Brits were taking Fort McHenry, and then they didn't!), those are my least favourite of his production.

The best option for me to not be homeless would however be for me to have an income from my writings so I could rent an appartment from my income ... some people prefer standard measures like social workers observing and so on. The factors that led to me becoming homeless actually involve precisely social workers and their misdecisions back in Sweden.

My point against Matt Walsh is, he framed it as if they were just complaining for nothing.
