People shouldn't be living on the streets, especially in the USA, rich country. That is the elephant in the room that the writer is treating as normal.
Here it is again: regarding your trust of a street guy addicted to drugs, I can't trust someone under the influence who's unpredictable and bigger than me. I'm 83 and 49 years' clean and sober (and vegan that long.) I supported a houseless woman who entered a recovery program and in less than a year she found housing, a job and a loving partner. I'm an animal rights activist who got inside a factory farm and filmed. I don't think we're a successful species, but won't give up hope and dedication to freeing the animals. We are not a successful species, where did you get that? Bonobo Pygmy Chimps are successful -- they are matriarchal and don't go to war. The humans who live in Blue Zones are successful. Please examine cultures around the world and do examine religions -- most of them sacrifice animals. Go ahead and trust others, but be mindful of consequences.
Thanks for these thoughts! I agree we're not successful in a moral sense. From an evolutionary perspective, however, we've been too successful for the planet's good! Time to use some of that success and power for good...

It's a good point. It's not normal, and we shouldn't treat it as such.
