@styxrafting Yes, but the message really isn't commentary on homeless people. It's commentary on society's willingness to genuflect at the alter of obscene wealth while having aspirational desires to possess that same wealth.

And a reminder that we are statistically more likely to become homeless than we are of becoming a billionaire.
