How about comfortable?


You can sleep in the train. Can you while driving a car ?


Did a decade on public transportation, I'm too old for that shit now. There's nothing wrong with not wanting to be in an open air human zoo several times per day.


There isn't. But the fix isn't to isolate yourself from society in a metal box, it's basic empathy and making sure those folks get the help they need and aren't forced into those situations in the first place.


I already pay taxes homie, I don't owe anything to violent and self destructive strangers on the subway.


... and that attitude is why your country is broken beyond repair.

If you feel like basic empathy is something you don't "owe" to your fellow humans, how can you hope to ever have a functioning society?

It seems most other countries are as or way more broken as regards caring for our unhoused neighbors.
