minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish6•edit-24 months ago18%. 18 fucing %. For the love of god that’s 1/5 of your bloody nation, wtf? Edit: Nvm, tired and can’t read for shit.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink6•4 months agoIt went up BY 18%, not up TO 18%. This says nothing about how bad it is, only that it’s getting worse. It went up TO 0.23%.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish2•4 months agoYeah, I…yeah, thanks. Way to go for me, eh? xD
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink3•4 months agoThat’s what I thought! Like what?! Isn’t that like 60m people? Unless homelessness is up by 18% from the original percentage. Either way it’s definitely millions of people… Just maybe not 60m… ??
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish3•4 months agoAbout one million by these estimates, but given there’s not a reliable way to measure homeless, it’s much higher.
