    as someone that has been homeless let me tell you that it creates a syndrome known as "where will they shit ?"

    Every time in movies and tv shows I see a huge extemporaneous gathering of people that lasts for more than a few minutes the first thing that I think of is, "where is everyone gonna shit ?"

    because when you have to worry about that on a moment to moment basis ... there is nothing else that can get through the cognitive gate. There is not time to worry about the stains on your jacket, the need to shave or brush your teeth, how is the stock market doing ... when you have to find a place to shit that will not impact some other person's life nor get you arrested.

    it is the kind of moment to moment thing that makes sure that you can't think "straight" for the rest of your life even when if you get a place in this world.
