 Homelessness means society has failed. 

Billionaires mean society has failed. 
 @3967703f I was just thinking about this the other day. For context, I am in a third world country.

I was outside of my condo the other day and a guy pulled up in a car that is easily worth 10 condos here. It is probably worth about as much as my parents 5 bedroom house in the states.

I live pretty comfortably here, but there is extreme poverty. I started wondering why society can even function when there is such a divide between people. 
 One of my favorite things to do when making a post that is over 500 characters is going back and rewording the post so it fits.

Its like a weird optimization game :grinmsn:

 @74178bce @5b432379 I am long past two years with Linux Mint. But I think this challenge is great. I learned the most about linux when I stopped reinstalling each time I messed something up. Now, I am not a professiona;, but I am fairly competent.
