    I mean, did you read the comments? There are tons of grifting homeless help organizations and non-profits that use a front of goodwill of helping the homeless to pay the executives a fat salary and build their resume to exit into other companies, organizations, and political positions

    And because genuinely solving homelessness problems will make the need for their organization to disappear, they purposely don't try to solve the root causes of the problem

    It's a classic liberal American grift, especially in San Francisco where everybody is a diehard Dem MAGA

      To be fair, solving the root causes would probably involve smuggling arms to the Maoist insurgents in the everglades.

    Honestly some part of me does like the idea of a Hobo Illuminati that controls the world from the shadows, and nobody ever suspects them because they don't bathe

    Fuck, it was a plot point in Indigo Prophecy and John Wick 2. The Hobo Illuminati is out there!

      Also popular in wuxia novels like Legend of the Condor Heroes:

      The gang is divided into various factions, including the "dirty clothing" faction (污衣派) and the "clean clothing" faction (淨衣派).

        I love the Wuxia world so much. Doctors? Secret martial arts masters. Hobos? Secret martial arts masters. Janitors? secret martial arts masters. Actual soldiers? Total chumps who barely know how to fight.
