- Wait at least 2 months before reposting
- No explicitly political content (about political figures, political events, elections and so on), !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca can be better place for that
- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen

People are homeless because they're lazy, not poor.
Or unable to get a stable full time job, maybe none exists, or not enough for everyone.
I don't think they mean it literally. I think they're pointing out the irony of calling people lazy when your own situation is often reduced in the same way.
People are homeless because of mental illness and drugs.
That's people on the street, the majority is people couch surfing or sleeping in their car. Where the only issue is money, not mental health at all.
