Doesn't that point to the same root causes and solutions expressed in the link? Addiction and mental health issues tend to grow out of other problems. There are plenty of addicts with well paid jobs. It's common knowledge that rock stars are often heavy drug users. No one concludes that this must mean that the way to become a rock star is to snort cocaine all the live long day because, obviously, that's the source of their creativity. But when a homeless person has an addiction, we blame their lack of housing on the addiction and we feel they first need to get clean before they deserve housing and a decent life. It is unfortunately true that it is easiest to reach an audience if you meet them halfway on some of their assumptions. It's hard enough to get anyone to listen to anything useful and constructive even with that approach. I've been writing about such subjects for years and I think it is reasonable to say I'm a Subject Matter Expert. I have very little traction. People mostly prefer to hear the same rehashed nonsense from larger news sources rather than promoting someone like me. So I may never get much traction and that means I have little choice but to use some of the same language that is commonly used while wholly disagreeing with the way other people frame the problem overall.
