Agreed but I'm not sure how we can change it at this point. Our lives in the US are way too good for revolution. This move by him is strictly about not letting Twitter ever block his accounts. He can pump & dump and mislead investors for billions that will make him a lot more money than his Twitter stake cost.


> . Our lives in the US are way too good for revolution.

lol, maybe for "us" they are most people have serious trouble just living and near zero retirement funds


I don't know. They haven't finished the homeless count for 2022. I suspect they are scared to announce it. People are probably dropping off from housed to unhoused at unprecidented levels. I wouldn't say our lives are way to good right now.


Very, very few homeless people are homeless because they simply can't afford housing.


To see why you're wrong, all you have to do is look up a survey:

From Maricopa county (Phoenix): https://www.abc15.com/news/local-news/investigations/why-is-...

That's 2,239 people (16 percent of all surveyed shelter-visitors) that cited "economic reasons" as the cause of their homelessness, and there's a separate entry for unemployment.
