You should explain what systemic racism is.You don't understand systemic racism
There is a huge labour shortage now.
I think you solved your own dilemma. Less need for imported labor, less idleness, less troublemaking, and they will be too tired at the end of the day to fly MAGA flags, loot stores, and shoot fentanyl.That is where the inequality lies. Ugly, stupid lazy people are fucked.
They should have programs for those loosers
1And one of the main variables is poverty.
This is how I faked my way into competence: decent personal hygiene/morning shave, show up on time, forced myself to be taller than the average male by hanging upside down like a bat while drinking milk in a dark closet....that last part works, doesn't it, or was that just some stupid thing kids told each other in the 70s?What you want is to be smart, good looking, and industrious.
That is where the inequality lies. Ugly, stupid lazy people are fucked.
I image some choose that lifestyle but for those who don’t choose it I assume, as a reasonable person might, they have economic challenges.Those who become homeless because of economic hard times often respond very well to assistance.
Sure. Doesn’t change my original point- that poverty is not the main driver.I image some choose that lifestyle but for those who don’t choose it I assume, as a reasonable person might, they have economic challenges.
racists are more likely to be homelessExplain all the homeless white people then if it’s because of racism
You said yourself that those without significant mental illness respond well to assistance and you appear to completely ignore the correlation between poverty and mental illness.Sure. Doesn’t change my original point- that poverty is not the main driver.
Your link doesn't even show the full article. There is no r-value for the correlation between income or poverty and mental illness. There is also no graph showing the relative numbers/percentages of people with mental illness by income class. There are basically no numbers, which basically makes your link useless for the purpose of what you are trying to argue.You said yourself that those without significant mental illness respond well to assistance and you appear to completely ignore the correlation between poverty and mental illness.
According to my paycheck, MS degree, and thesis that has been cited at least 10 times in other academic articles and downloaded thousands of times? Yes, I'm pretty sure I can make that caseAre you sure that you’re a scientist?
Poverty and homelessness do correlate, numbnuts.Your link doesn't even show the full article. There is no r-value for the correlation between income or poverty and mental illness.

Beyond that, even if we assume that there is a correlation, it is still a fallacy to assume that if mental illness is correlated with homelessness and poverty is correlated with mental illness, that therefore poverty is correlated with homelessness. That's not how correlations work.

Nobody said that poverty isn't a factor . . . . It's simply not the driving factor.Poverty and homelessness do correlate, numbnuts.
Is that your scientific opinion?Nobody said that poverty isn't a factor . . . . It's simply not the driving factor.
You are really struggling here.
Because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Changing Homelessness has decided against mobilizing volunteers to conduct a 2022 count of unsheltered homeless people in Duval, Clay and Nassau counties.
I don't think anyone's numbers are actually going down now that evictions are back in full swing - a necessary return to normalcy that will affect basically all jurisdictions, Democrat or Republican, and I don't think being short 150-200 volunteers and only sending employees to a couple parks in downtown and the shelters is going to produce an accurate number.Staffers also conducted socially distanced surveys at "known locations" of homeless people in downtown Jacksonville, as well as the Sulzbacher center's Urban Rest Stop and Mission House in Jacksonville Beach.
According to the National Alliance to End Homelessness, Schizophrenia affects a little more than 1 percent of the U.S. population, but it’s much more prevalent among homeless persons. Estimates are wide-ranging, but some go as high as 20 percent of the homeless population.Nobody said that poverty isn't a factor . . . . It's simply not the driving factor.

Roughly half at the low end of the estimate . . . Up to 75% with the high range of numbers added together.According to the National Alliance to End Homelessness, Schizophrenia affects a little more than 1 percent of the U.S. population, but it’s much more prevalent among homeless persons. Estimates are wide-ranging, but some go as high as 20 percent of the homeless population.
According to the National Library of Medicine, credible estimates of the prevalence of alcohol and drug abuse suggest that alcohol abuse affects 30% to 40% and drug abuse 10% to 15% of homeless persons.
So roughly half could be attributed to schizophrenia and substance abuse.
Also, we need to take into account the correlation between poverty and substance abuse.
Conclusion: you're a fucking idiot.

Social workers are generally public employees that have a very good benefit and retirement package. Those that choose to go into the field of social work know well in advance that it is not the highest paying career choice. The fact that some decide to go into deep debt to pursue a career in social work knowing this, well, that decision is on them and no one else.What about the fifty something dolts that pursued meaningful careers in public service (like social program) for relatively low wages. Or are you dolt enough to assume that meaningful social programs pay well?
Meaning I have issues with both sides. The current environment is dominated by the extreme 10% from both sides. It is a really crazy time. It's all me me me and not what is best for everyone. This is a result of the "cornucopia of special interest groups and grifters" that dominate politics and widen the divide between the two parties.."My issue with liberals and progressives is that they are ruled by a cornucopia of special interest groups and grifters. That can be said about conservatives too."
um, ok
