Well if I round the total homeless population to 600k and take the approximate US population to be 300M, then that would give a 2% overall homeless population.
2% of 300M is 6M (6 million). So the percentage is closer to 0.2%.
Also the percentage is useless without a comparison to Israel. The 2,250 number represents about 0.02% of their population! So still a massive difference, based on those numbers.
Thank you! That’s actually what I was interested in. Data without context is dubious, as you pointed out with the observation about the depression statistic. I can’t believe that statement as fact without knowing what the source data and/or methodology is; I.e. are they using the amount of antidepressants prescribed across the population, or did they send Phil out to take a tally of how many people are smiling at the park?
The RNC and the DNC both suck military industrial cocks.
Vote for either and vote for war. War meaning death of innocents and disabling of healthy young men and women. Mostly psychologically, but plenty physically.
Yeah throw ranked choice voting my way or any of the other possible solutions and I’d vote to implement it. Problem is Ohio lol. I mean, they’re trying to “over rule” the vote for the constitutional amendment that passed by taking the courts jurisdiction away from any related cases. Don’t know if they actually could but still.
Would be nice to see the homeless numbers expressed as a percentage of the population. The current view is misleading.

Close, but you’re way off!
2% of 300M is 6M (6 million). So the percentage is closer to 0.2%.
Also the percentage is useless without a comparison to Israel. The 2,250 number represents about 0.02% of their population! So still a massive difference, based on those numbers.
Based on these numbers and current actual population estimates it would be 0.173% in the US and 0.023% in Israel
I also think the “highest rates of depression worldwide” statistic is dubious.
Spot on with healthcare and student loans though

You are all why fanatics be fanaticizing.
The two party system has failed.

Fuck… how did it get this bad…
Oh ya. Docile diligent 2 party voters.
It’s all set in the constitution. Not on purpose but in the systems and incentives it declares.

Yeah, I was way off… I guess that’ll teach me to check my working
Also, good point with the comparison.
That’s your takeaway? The mental gymnastics of you fuckers…
You should look up the meanings of “takeaway” and “mental gymnastics”.
The person is requesting more information, who knows what their takeaway is or if they have even come to any conclusions yet.
