But the ruling class consolidated more wealth and continued to boil the planet, so we got that going for us
How else are they going to have enough money to transport their slave workforce to Mars? C’mon buddy, think about the shareholders here. My kids can have healthcare, or they can be slaves on Mars, and I know we’ve raised em well enough not to choose any pinko commie BS like healthcare. /S
You better keep it down. We a just serfs that own nothing. The feudal lords will put you on Führer Trumps camp list for the gas chambers.
“We shouldn’t be helping other countries when we have so many homeless here.”
“Can we help the homeless here?”
“No.”
The economy is doing great didnt you hear?
Well ok the money part not the human part but let’s not get hung up on the fine print.
Within the overall rise, homelessness among individuals rose by nearly 11%, among veterans by 7.4% and among families with children by 15.5%. People who identify as Black make up about 13% of the U.S. population but comprised 37% of all people experiencing homelessness. People who identify as Hispanic or Latino make up about 19% of the population but comprised about 33% of those experiencing homelessness. Also, more than a quarter of the adults experiencing homelessness were over age 54.
And people wonder why people are not or waiting to have kids.
I wonder why the Hispanic population is so disproportionately homeless. Maybe because they’re new to the country and lack a family and friend network?
Yeah wondering how many of those people are legal. If not many, then 100% the case. If Legal could be same reason as Black people?
Well even legal immigrants often lack the same support networks as citizens, since they are new to the country.
Very valid. Be nice if they gathered more info.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The United States experienced a dramatic 12% increase in homelessness to its highest reported level as soaring rents and a decline in coronavirus pandemic assistance combined to put housing out of reach for more Americans, federal officials said Friday.
Going back to the first 2007 survey, the U.S. then made steady progress for about a decade in reducing the homeless population as the government focused particularly on increasing investments to get veterans into housing.
The numbers ticked up to about 580,000 in the 2020 count and held relatively steady over the next two years as Congress responded to the COVID-19 pandemic with emergency rental assistance, stimulus payments, aid to states and local governments and a temporary eviction moratorium.
Officials also noted that President Joe Biden’s budget for this fiscal year has recommended guaranteed vouchers for low-income veterans and youths aging out of foster care, among other investments designed to reduce homelessness.
Mayor Eric Adams has pleaded with the federal government for aid to help defray the cost of housing migrants, which he says will run into the billions of dollars over the next few years.
It’s also identifying potential federal land and buildings that can be made available for shelter and other services for migrants, said a senior HUD official not authorized to publicly discuss the report.
