    More damn lies.

    yet the number of people living paycheck to paycheck has been increasing

    No it’s not.

    The number of renters that cannot afford their rent has been increasing

    No it’s not.

    homelessness is at the largest level ever recorded

    Not even close.

    You got any sources for your bullshit, other than “my ass”?

      2016 Paycheck to paycheck rate 38%

      2020 Paycheck to paycheck rate 63%

      2023 paycheck to paycheck rate 78%, up 6% since 2022

      50% of renters cant afford their rent

      Hopelessness at record level

      NPR article about record homelessness

      I won’t say you are lying, but ignorant of the facts.

        Ah so you’re doing that disingenuous bullshit where you’re saying the TOTAL number of homeless has gone up while intentionally implying you meant the homelessness RATE has gone up.

        Guess what? Our POPULATION has gone up over the past hundred years too.

        Even just looking at pure numerical data, only last year did the number of homeless edge above the 2012 level, which is the earliest we have good data for. There’s no way in hell it’s beating out 2009-2011 after free great recession, much less the great depression.

        As for poverty, it’s currently around HALF of our earliest data from 1925. Trending down steadily.

        Capitalism has its problems, but trying to paint a picture of life getting worse over time is absolutely bullshit.

          Solid rebuttal for a 12 year old! Does your mom know you’re online talking to adults?

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
