"Indeed, this city is in a terrible state right now," David began. "According to statistics, the number of homeless in the city has reached several thousands, and every week, sometimes up to a hundred homeless people die from starvation, freezing to death, or illness. Have you ever considered what the fundamental reason behind this is?"
After pondering for a moment, the Wall Street Journal replied, "I believe the main reason is the local economic collapse and high unemployment rate."
David shook his head slightly and then said, "That's one of the reasons, but not the main one. The crux of the issue is that local finances can no longer issue relief funds. In the past, the relief money that each person could receive was not much, but at least it was enough to ensure one wouldn't starve or freeze to death."
No one in the audience or online voiced any opposition to this statement.
