Forum Post: America's Growing Tent Cities "Journalists Nowhere To Be Found"

"They used to call the occupants of tent cities "the forgotten men" during the great depression. The irony is that they remembered them in 1934 enough to give them a name. We don't even have a name for them now.

This alone tells you everything you need to know about life in the United States these days."
