Go back and read his post. Administrators and public money was the topic he launched into. Had nothing to do with homelessness that I could see. And I told him so. What we are disagreeing about now is the meaning of Tom's last sentence, so I'll quote it.

"One could argue that there needs to be a way to separate those who are unable to share the burden and those who are able but don't."

Who is Tom talking about? His aforementioned administrators? The public in general? Or the homeless? And sharing what burden? The public burden of taking care of the homeless, and maybe how our taxes are spent? Or the burden of the homeless being unable to take care of themselves? I find Tom's entire post to be exceptionally convoluted and lacking all specificity. Mostly because Tom never bothered to directly reference the homeless, which is after all, the proper topic of this thread.

I could not decipher what Tom wrote. You made a good guess at his meaning. But does Tom himself have any clarity about what he wrote? Maybe Tom will pile back into this thread to enlighten us, so that we no longer have to parse our way through his language.
