    This thread is basically:

          How many had to live on park benches and prison camps in Warsaw Pact states to allow for their ‘generous’ rationing?

        Good so we got flour figured out. How many homeless people did Poland have in the 1980s? How many does it have now?

          Uncertain, because like the Soviet Union, homelessness was illegal and official stats weren’t kept. Nevertheless, ‘vagrancy’ was a serious and recurring problem in Warsaw Pact states.
