      How else are they going to have enough money to transport their slave workforce to Mars? C’mon buddy, think about the shareholders here. My kids can have healthcare, or they can be slaves on Mars, and I know we’ve raised em well enough not to choose any pinko commie BS like healthcare. /S

    Within the overall rise, homelessness among individuals rose by nearly 11%, among veterans by 7.4% and among families with children by 15.5%. People who identify as Black make up about 13% of the U.S. population but comprised 37% of all people experiencing homelessness. People who identify as Hispanic or Latino make up about 19% of the population but comprised about 33% of those experiencing homelessness. Also, more than a quarter of the adults experiencing homelessness were over age 54.

    And people wonder why people are not or waiting to have kids.
