That homelessness and poverty be eliminated in this, the most diverse, talented, and rich country in the world. This "economic hardship" the country is dealing with is hitting those with the least, the hardest. I had hopes it would build more compassion, but so far I am seeing people fighting to keep what they have and turning a blind eye to those who have little to nothing.
