Ok I don't get it. America's GDP has risen a lot, homeless people are decreasing, crime has fallen by a ton since the 70s. Technology has changed everyone's lives for the better. Unemployment has been the lowest it has been since WW2. So why is the situation seem like it's getting worse?

The number make it seem like America has never been better, there's supposed to be 30% less crime in 2021 then in 1980. And yet MSM is filled with stories of massive homeless camps, homeless people growing in almost every major city, a major rise in crimes and homicides, a rise in mental illness, massive increase in junkies, people shitting and ODing on the streets, the lack of affordable healthcare killing people, inflation driving people into poverty etc etc

But the numbers are great. Unemployment is at 3.9%, a low never seen since WW2. Crime is decreasing according to the stats. Companies are making massive profits and expanding and hiring like crazy. The US has producing even more food then before. GDP has never been higher. Housing is experiencing a major boon. Healthcare has never been better due to better tehc. There's less and less homeless over time according to official figures.

So why the disconnect? Why are so many American think that their cities and country is on a major decline when the numbers say otherwise?

There was so much talk of how the American empire's decline was inevitable that we somehow psyoped ourselves into believing it was happening

We are the richest country to ever have existed, there's no reason for us to have half a million homeless

Do you know how hard it is to get out of homelessness once you're in it? Extremely.
Employers are very discriminatory against the homeless. For example, you need to be able to put down an address for practically any job. Good luck doing that if you're homeless.

Homeless is decreasing

The numbers don't show you how fucked up the culture has become. People hating each other over transient issues that shouldn't be causing the divisions they are.
Sure numbers are up, but that's what the system is meant to do. It doesn't mean the life of the average person is any better.

americans are literal babies.

the UK is a country denying its material decline (a lot of people are going to die this winter)
the US is a first world country pretending its materially declining.

But isn't that exactly the point? By almost every metric, the life of the average American is better than ever but we're all convinced we're about to turn into a third world country and at each other's throats despite that

We make 2x more than our parents, but most major life purchases cost 10x more.
The only redeeming quality is that we have internet.

Media need constant flow of drama.

It's not that hard if you are just "between accommodations" because of unemployment and inability to pay rent. Then you get in contact with a social worker (in good time!), a shelter and start looking for jobs even across state.
The difficult homelessness is the one sic people make up due to mental issues or substance abuse. They can't be offered the same support because of the risk they pose to other temporary homeless people.

If you ever become homeless make sure you know your value and don't get tangled up with problematic people because of it!

what's the point of this?

Most homeless are drug addicts that are voluntarily homeless.

Even your average autistic sped or retard can get government assistance for an apartment.

San Jose's homeless population is up 11% from 2019. There are camps literally everywhere you go, not to mention the shanty town by the airport.

Ok but even if you don't have a place at the time, what about when you don't even have a phone so they can contact you?

The thing is despite us having less homeless than we used to, they used to be a little more spread out in where they were. Now they all live in the same couple cities in California so it's really noticable.

>addicts
>voluntarily homeless
THIS!
Just stop being addicted?
Like, just stop inhaling the crack smoke.
It's not like the smoke comes into your lungs with the wind!

>voluntarily homeless
mental illness is rarely voluntary

>America's GDP has risen a lot

GDP doesn't say anything about the actual living conditions of the average person.

>Unemployment has been the lowest it has been since WW2.
This doesn't mean anything when wages have stagnated for 40 years. '500 000 new jobs created' doesn't mean anything if you need 2 or 3 jobs to survive.

>Homelessness has decreased.
This 'decrease' in homeless is no decrease at all a small fluctuation of a few ten thousand people.

Meanwhile, incarceration rates are at an all time high, life expectancy has been dropping for almost a decade, cost of living, especially rent, has risen dramatically, higher education is barely affordable, drug overdose deaths are through the roof.

Again if your GDP grows by 10% a year and your wage stays at the same then you haven't actually experienced an improvement of your living conditions (someone else did, probably your boss).

>when you don't even have a phone so they can contact you?
Nature has a way to sort it out.

several things
>1. America is under attack by China who is flooding America with cheap synthetic drugs
>2. the financialization of the American economy means all these datapoints translate to gains only for the jews sitting in wall street
>3. the american elite is cannibalizing america's middle class to keep its imperial pet projects running
>4. american social fabric was destroyed in the 70s-80s by MK Ultra programs

US population has risen over 9% from 2007 to 2020, while the absolute number of homeless has fallen. Some portion of people are always going to fail at life no matter what.
This is progress, however slow it is.

stats from gooble
>301.2 million (2007)
>329.5 million (2020)

you are looking at numbers that support your idea and leave others out
americans leave home later and later to start their adult life
americans purchase their first home later and later
less and less americans are able to afford savings

idk where you get that idea that less homeless ppl means development
