Federal officials say the United States saw an 18.1% increase in homelessness, a dramatic rise driven mostly by a lack of affordable housing as well as devastating natural disasters and a surge of migrants in several parts of the country.
But I was told to look at the graphs and see how good everything is. I wonder if the graphdorks will look at this one, or if they have some bs reason to dismiss this one like they do with all the other ones they don’t like.
My go-to lib graphdork is an obnoxious turbolib named Will Stancil. I assume he must argue with leftists almost every single day on Twitter and/or Bluesky. He can’t help himself.
I changed the order so it’s Reddit-like and his comment is effectively a reply.
Is homelessness not part of “the economy” in this formulation? Like, a large increase in homelessness is a part of the economic picture. To act like “the economy” can be walled off from homelessness is pretty crazy in my opinion.
It absolutely is part of the economy. And a large increase in homelessness is bad. But this is a fraction of a percent of the population - even a fraction of a percent of the LOW-INCOME population. So it doesn’t tell you much about the larger economy standing alone. We have broader measures for that
God, what a ghoul he is. “Homelessness is bad but…” I’d poke at him but I can’t. The day Steve Albini died - Stancil said something like he was “grief-stricken”. It seemed like a lie to me so I replied with something like “Do you mean that? Or did you say it for street cred?” And he blocked me within a few minutes.

the graphdorks look at this one and conclude since economy go up that these are 770,000 cases of parallel yet unrelated individual failures

The day he lost that election was a great day

I love his bio…
I wonder if it means his hopes to be in elected office are crushed. I fucking hope so.
