The United States has experienced a 12% increase in homelessness, to its highest reported level. Federal officials Friday said soaring rents and a winding down of coronavirus pandemic assistance combined to put housing out of reach for more Americans.
We can invent billions of dollars to give away during the pandemic, and billions more to give Israel to continue its genocide against Palestinians, but solving student debt or homelessness or universal health care? We don’t have enough money for that!
Because interest payments make profit, and reducing people’s ability to not live paycheck to paycheck increases the workers dependency on the system.
Universal healthcare would, ironically, save the government, businesses, and consumers money all at the same time.
Is Hamas/IDF genocide against each other some kind of meme that must be mentioned in every comment section now or is this just propaganda?
Hamas isn’t in the West Bank. And yet Israel is demolishing houses right now so that settlers can move in. Only one side is perpetrating a genocide.
Sweet, what’s that have to do about US homelessness?
Nothing. It has everything to do with your comment. This isn’t a “both sides” moment. It may have been in the past but Israel is commiting war crimes at a breathtaking pace now.
