23. I wish he would talk about Homelessness more often,
more seriously as a systemic part of our economy, that is deliberately created, and know about but deliberately not addressed in any effective way.

I wish he would talk about the reasons why.

Why homelessness is systemic.
Why the government officials, the economic leaders, business leaders, all know they are creating homelessness and don't really care.
Why there are no effective ways of addressing homelessness.
Why homelessness is demonized and treated the way it is, and blamed on the victims.

He's right. It's not just about the numbers. But even with his habit of talking about the numbers he could shed a lot of light on this topic too.
