Her time at Tech taught her that making a difference for millions of people can be one idea away.

@@Txshanell I am sorry, that you consider my remark as hateful. That was truly not my intention and I am very sorry that I have offended with those, maybe not so thoughtful words of mine. But I will explain to you, what I mean. I believe, the only solution is housing and integration for every homeless person and not a coat, what gives this person some kind of comfort, but think about it! Is with this coat the problem of homelessness solved? How long does it take, until the coat hase been stolen from a homeless person, living in the streets! And what is the point of this coat? Can it replace a home and safety? If you would use the money for a tiny house instead of a high-tech coat, would this not be more helpful for the person? The other thing is, every person, who is wearing this coat is immediatly recongnized as a homeless person! I wouldn't wear this! (Believe me, I am sure not belong to the well off- society). So, Lindsey-Shanell, I am very grateful, that you wrote these honest and sincire words, to tell me, your feelings. So I can explain, how I was misunderstood. Now, at least, I want to tell you, that I respect every person in hardship, thats why I reject this ridiculus coat and I wish, there would be a true and sincire project to take care of the homeless on the long term.

I would have thought opening abandoned buildings for homeless to shelter in would have been a lot better. The delta coat isnt exactly helping the homless get off the streets, is it. Just helping them be a bit more comfortable. I would have thought the homeless would prefer a shelter to escape the weather and food more than a coat.

Someone should invent a jacket that attaches to the ground securely. It should seal up and be strong enough to resist weather. It could be a jacket that is roomy enough to walk around inside of and even lay down in while it stays upright. Perhaps it could have power so that it could be heated and cooled. Boy if you could hook it up to plumbing it would be the perfect jacket for all occasions.

Homeless people wont use it...too reflective and blindingly bright, attracts attention, and homeless people dont want that. Plus, homeless people lay down many times throughout the day, they arent going to take the time to blow that thing up every time that they lay down, or at all. Most of these jackets will end up in the garbage or being used for something that they werent intended for...a massive waste of money.

"If machines produce everything we need, the outcome will depend on how things are distributed. Everyone can enjoy a life of luxurious leisure if the machine-produced wealth is shared, or most people can end up miserably poor if the machine-owners successfully lobby against wealth redistribution. So far, the trend seems to be toward the second option, with technology driving ever-increasing inequality." Stephen Hawking, 2015 Reddit AMA "Even before the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic occurred, the US was mired in a 40-year population health crisis. Since 1980, life expectancy in the US has increasingly fallen behind that of peer countries, culminating in an unprecedented decline in longevity since 2014." doi: 10.1001/jama.2020.26339 "Technological fixes are not always undesirable or inadequate, but there is a danger that what is addressed is not the real problem but the problem in as far as it is amendable to technical solutions." Engineering and the Problem of Moral Overload doi: 10.1007/s11948-011-9277-z "I am convinced there is only one way to eliminate these grave evils, namely through the establishment of a socialist economy, accompanied by an educational system which would be oriented toward social goals." Albert Einstein, Why Socialism? "Above all, we should bear in mind that our liberty is not an end in itself; it is a means to win respect for human dignity for all classes of our society.” Admiral H.G.

You are looking at this ass backwards. In a time where our politicians have failed the poor, destitute and homeless, this woman has found a way that is affordable for non-profit organizations to be able to do what they can. It's not like if she hadn't invented this they would have housed and fed the homeless, without her invention, these people would still be just as homeless and without any kind of comfort provided by her invention.
