Okay. I'm sorry to have gotten on you. There so many comments in this thread I found to be so completely wrong, and/or unsympathetic, it had really bothered me, and I took it out on you. Thank you for admitting that you may not fully understand what is a very serious situation for many. And sadly, at least in the US, we do a rather poor job of solving the problem, not because we don't have the resources, but because a large amount of people (and their leaders) simply ignore or don't wish to fix the problem. It's frustrating, and all the more frustrating when you read comments about it on HN, which again, tend to lack sympathy for their fellow human beings. And again, I apologize.
I'm 100% sure I don't know what I'm talking about! That's why I couched my opinion in all the weasel words like "probably" and "likely".
