Within the overall rise, homelessness among individuals rose by nearly 11%, among veterans by 7.4% and among families with children by 15.5%. People who identify as Black make up about 13% of the U.S. population but comprised 37% of all people experiencing homelessness. People who identify as Hispanic or Latino make up about 19% of the population but comprised about 33% of those experiencing homelessness. Also, more than a quarter of the adults experiencing homelessness were over age 54.

And people wonder why people are not or waiting to have kids.

I wonder why the Hispanic population is so disproportionately homeless. Maybe because they’re new to the country and lack a family and friend network?

Yeah wondering how many of those people are legal. If not many, then 100% the case. If Legal could be same reason as Black people?

Well even legal immigrants often lack the same support networks as citizens, since they are new to the country.

Chronicling a body of evidence demonstrating that the U.S. government is horrifyingly tyrannical at almost every level, and authoritarianism, cronyism and corruption have poisoned almost every aspect of American life. We show the very real need for Americans to follow through on the Founding Fathers’ instructions to overthrow their government and the evil corporations that control it.

If you find a news article or dumb corporate bigot on Twitter that has said or done something so egregious that it made you wonder why Americans don’t band together and do something about those motherfuckers, it belongs here.
