      But isn’t the US the best country in the world? Much better than China and Russia?

      I’m confused 🤔

    I guess it is latin focused paper but i don’t get it…

    many people in the US are currently struggling to pay bills, this is just fact of the current economic conditions for most people.

    we got squeeze like a lemon and there is aint anything left to squeeze but they keep on doing it anyway.

      These types of figures are still important to know. You want to see if certain populations are being affected disproportionately and have a baseline to work from when seeing how policy changes are working.

      If you make a policy change and see recovery overall but you’re still getting 52% of Latinos reporting insecurity, you’ve done something wrong and you have data to back it up.

        Cute of you to assume policy is trying to improve anything here when policy is clearly to drive people into bad economic situation, data speaks for itself.

        Sure we can measure by demographics but the real issue is that ruling class is enabled by the state to fuck everybody for profit

          And if you overthrew the ruling class, you’d still want to know how the new system was affecting various demographics. All systems have biases and the only way to account for them is to know about them.
