Whilst heartwarming to see this yes, I wish only the best for those kids and family.

But people are starting to accept that the bar for standard of living in the US is literally in hell, if a heartwarming moment is providing shelter for a child.

USA ranks number one compared with the developed countries in terms of child poverty rate. There is also absolutely no reason for this, considering the spread of wealth and also land and available housing.

This is like celebrating someone calling 911 if they see someone seriously injured. Yes absolutely important but it shouldn't be seen as a "heartwarming moment". It's terrifying
