20-35% of homeless people are addicts. Not the majority, however propaganda pushed by republicans make it seem like all homeless people are druggies. Because it’s easier to make them the enemy than to realize the cold truth. 53% of homeless people in shelters have jobs and it’s not enough. 40% of homeless people not in shelters have jobs. You need a job to get money to afford a place. You need a place to get a job to get money. You need money to get a place to get a job. You see the problem?

I get that you want to believe the stats you Googled, but anyone who’s actually been in a major city knows what’s really going on

These stats aren’t from trusting what they say. They’re from urine and blood testing. Facts over feelings dumbass

And it’s a fact you cannot get a job without an address. You cannot get an address without a stable income. You cannot get a stable income without a job. We built this system to continuously harm homeless people and make it extremely difficult to break out of poverty. It isn’t trusting that they say they have jobs. It’s based on their pay stubs.

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
