The American mindset: “if they’re homeless, they clearly did something wrong and/or deserve it.”

Right, despite the biggest cause of homelessness: medical debt.

Citation needed.

Medical debt is the biggest cause of bankruptcies. I assume bankruptcy and homelessness are correlated, but I haven't seen stats on homelessness.

I certainly do not agree with that. My point is that this article itself conflates homelessness and addiction, which I think is a serious error.

What specific information makes you think that?

I know. I mean this is the mindset that causes this conflation in the first place.
