Landlord-Tenant relations is the bleeding edge of class conflict. Just the most ruthless shit that most Americans go through. If you fail it you go into the gaping maw of homelessness and incarceration.
Is this factually, verifiably true? I figured there would be empty houses (friction etc) but one for every twenty persons sounds like a lot.
Calling that claim “false” is deeply unsatisfying when the actual ratio of empty houses to homeless people is worse than the stated one.
Right? It's false because it's even worse than previously stated. Hopefully people will pick up on that.
it does indeed make one wonder seeing as the 17mil figure is from 2019 and with Everything thats happened since then its bound to have changed
It's almost certainly even worse now.
*Twenty for every one persons
Total persons in the US, not homeless persons.
How can a select a few live in disgusting luxury with the wealth of 1000 lifetimes if we don’t have homelessness?
But if we don't keep people poor and desperate how will the capitalists sit on their massive pile of gold like a demonic dragon?
If I've learned anything from crypto, it's that you have to burn the surplus.
