When our country has a problem they can't/won't solve, (like homelessness), they blame the people suffering---easier to do. It's easier to blame the worker than face the fact that employers think of the bottom line and that's it---profit above anything else. You have to give them incentive (monetary) to hire people like the homeless or those with a record. And even that doesn't always work.
On a related note, people are made to take the same workshops over and over, on "how to write a resume", "how to dress for an interview", etc. etc. etc. Use spell check, don't lie, don't wear worn out clothes to the interview, etc. etc. etc. Just follow these steps.
I mean if people can't find work, they are always told they need to work on their resumes or what's "wrong" with them. It is NOT YOU, it's our system/mindset, along with so many other factors like Corporate America's obsession with their profits.
Stuff like "think positive" and "work hard" are oversimplifications of getting by and being successful here.
Hence, I devour my dystopian novels where the U.S. no longer exists, it's a post-apocalyptic wasteland. Even the rich don't exist anymore. I find these books to be an outlet, as I see the direction this country is going in as frightening to say the least. The stuff in these novels are plausible, really.
