This politician could sleep in a mansion, but he chooses to sleep in a homeless shelter just to hold his city accountable. Mike Kaufman, and he's the 71-year-old mayor in Colorado. And every single Friday since February of 2024, he checks into the homeless shelter and sleeps on cots. Now you might ask, why would a distinguished politician do this? Surely he has enough money, a nice place and getting a rest could really cost him when he has many important decisions. Well, this shelter has 600 beds that provide people with transitional housing, basically giving people got evicted from one house into the next. And Mike himself actually helped establish this shelter in the first place to really understand what the homeless city actually need, be able to experience what they're experiencing himself. And not only here, he wakes up early on that Saturday morning to serve everyone breakfast. He's working on policies, making up ideas about what he's actually seen it and lived what people actually need. More wholesome money, stories like this, never see me
