'From A Stable Job To A Tent: A Waiter's Homeless Struggle'

[Backseat Driver]

4. This man who did nothing wrong?

He's needed a life coach for a long time if he's been doing the same work that he did as a teen-ager. Where is his family of origin; his parents, uncles, or siblings? HS grad? Community college? Military service?

Did he have previous serious jail time served? Was there abuse and/or serious illness in his family? Did he think he'd make good forever betting that one rich Floridian or more at a steakhouse would leave him a huge tip that would solve all future obstacles?

Does he have an overly prideful, racially privileged attitude? It's a fair question for one stuck in Florida these days. No longer, I'm guessing, yet I'm well aware that there are those that have/had all of those life experiences that are still struggling to find the self-esteem to continue fighting for a satisfying life's journey while social safety nets disappear. It's very sad. A 42 year old should not be despairing of having a long, healthy, useful life.
