As someone who was homeless for about two years when I was 18, not because of drugs or anything, just because my parents were terrible human beings. I met plenty of homeless people. I can tell you from actual personal experience, the majority of homeless people are not addicts. Most were like me, just kinda got the shit end of the stick all the way through. So I would say you’re the one who doesn’t know what’s going on here pal
Yes but no, that’s an oversimplification. There’s three different ways to record GDP which in theory lead to the same answer, one being completely based on consumption. Even the formula GDP = C + I + G + NX is consumption driven. It’s value of goods produced, which means total national revenue (what has been spent). G can be calculated with government spending OR taxes collected (insane since the budget is never balanced).
A lot of people become homeless due to medical debt. They’re living paycheck to paycheck, have a huge accident happen to them, can’t pay all the bills, end up on the streets. U don’t do research on this. “Anyone that lives in big cities would know” yeah that’s cuz u sit and judge instead of talking and understanding
