You are way off - 14M didn't lose their health coverage in the US either. Just because someone loses their job temporarily due to Government imposed shutdowns, does not mean they lost health coverage. There are programs to cover those that lose employee sponsored health care.
As far as homelessness, the estimates are that 2% of the worlds population is homeless and 20% lack adequate housing. Homeless is much more visible now than years ago. As recently as 1950s, about 70% of the population was rural, now it is closer to half that. It used to be that homelessness was a rural problem, now it is an urban one. A significant number of other first world countries have much more homelessness than the US.
looks like the top 2 homelessness countries have mild climates.
LOL — for a sum of $40k I will personally place you in a home with a sub $800 mortgage (10% down payment). Let’s say $850ish after my $40k finders fee.
Deal?
Any takers?
I promise true 4 season climate and very low property tax — access to 500,000+ population city within at least 30 minutes of any of the homes I choose for you. At least 800 sq ft and 0.3 acre yard.
Name me the region where there are a plethora of jobs available for $15/hr FT where a couple--or single--can live like kings. Also take into account
-Healthcare costs
-Student loans
-transit
-utilities
-grocery prices
-insurance
-taxes
They eat up the paycheck.
This country has really fallen to new lows and it is like many want to ignore it.
There are thousands of "Homeless Working Poor" in this country.
There was an hour documentary I watched recently on Netflix where you had adults living out of their cars and using it to drive to work.
Here we have a city bus driver that returns to his car after his shift is done.
I hate to be so blunt but nobody here is in envy of the US at this stage. We actually look in horror at the virus situation compared to ours. I would have to think that the OP is trolling as the notion that everything is so much better in the US, especially at the moment, seems almost comical. If the OP is not trolling it is a person who has not spent much time in other countries.
