    Being alcoholic is usually not a natural disaster (as far as I know), so this does not say anything about the cause.
    Buying an EV is one thing, being able to drive it beyond city limits another...

    You had said that maybe he was homeless because he kept giving everything away. I pointed out that he was homeless because he was alcoholic. Not a natural disaster. I regard it as a mental illness in the addiction category. I was an alcoholic from my mid-teens to my mid-20's, so I know how hard it can be to quit. And even harder without supportive non-drinking friends and family.
