wholeheartedly support everyone in the LGBTQ+ community. what about the lone gay? the pan-sexiled? the lesbianned from all nearby coffee-shops? Why do you only support the gays with social capital sufficient to be part of the communitiy?

I mean, SSRI’s are sometimes known to permantantly fix the brains serotonin levels after a limited period of application, so it might’ve still been the drugs (Or a combination of both).
Cool that you’re doing good, tho.

Ricardo’s rule of rent.
In absense of land equality, or marginal land to escape to, rent will tend to push wages closer and closer to subsistance.

I mean, cost of living is higher than america than other parts of the world and other parts of the world have state-funded security programs that take some of the anxiety away from living.
Here in (western) europe I’d wager at half of people (including me) are insulated from “poverty induced misery”. There are an awful lot of stupidly big and expensive cars on the road.
Am I glad that ~400 million ::: spoiler spoiler (200 mill in north america, 100 mill in europe, 100 mill everywhere else)::: people total live in that state of freedom? Yeah, but it is ever so depressing to think about what a minority of humanity it really is.

#NO IT’S NOT, THESE ARE TWO DIFFERENT PHENOMINA.
Diminishing returns: My first dollar buys a loaf of bread necessary for my survival, my millionth buys me 0.01% of a sports car.
Hedonic treadmill: Neither my sports car nor loaves of bread seem as wonderous to me after they’ve become a part of my routine.

So I’m all for children ***not ***starving, I’d like to get that out the way. That being said, this article could be a lot more specific.
4 million people experienced destitution in 2022. Destitution is when people cannot afford to meet their most basic physical needs to stay warm, dry, clean and fed.
Is that an “and” or an “or”? Are children hungry and homeless, or are they going hungry to avoid being homeless, neither is good obviously, but it makes the difference between a third world country and a very shitty first world country.
with almost three quarters (72%) of those destitute being in receipt of benefits. charities – such as food banks – to try to prevent people from experiencing the worst of destitution, but the task is too great for them.
Are the destitution statistics based on what people can afford pre or post these thing? Obviously it’s bad when people need to rely on charity & government assistance to afford their essentials, but it’s unclear from the article how stressed these systems are.
Single people of working age continue to be the worst-affected group by far … followed by no statistics pertaining to this group!!!
Idk I just want more figures. That’s all I guess
