Losing your home is hell, but so is being unhoused in a wildfire (Mother Jones article)

1. NPR Language

Democrat strategist James Carville has been telling other Democrats to stop using "NPR language". What do you think about that? The fist thing I see in this article is the word "unhoused". What if they had just said "homeless"? I don't like the word "unhoused" because it positions the speaker as some sort of elite who is in charge of divvying up houses to people, and for some reason you haven't given one to everybody. I think that's self serving and demeaning to the homeless person, who probably doesn't have a house because the whole economic system is corrupt and either let him fall through or perhaps even made him fall through. The solution isn't to give you more power. Who are you to say that he needed a handout? It feels like you're trying to excuse the perpetrators that got us here. It's also not something anyone can relate to. It's cold sterile language. Homeless. I can relate to that. I hear that word and I can feel it. It would be horrible to be homeless. Unhoused? Okay I will wait for the paper work to be sorted out so I can receive my new classification of "housed". Give me a break.
