I dunno, I think better healthcare is def helpful but wouldn’t even be as necessary if the lifestyle were better. I hear rates of obesity are off the charts in the south and that’s not only just due to lower activity but a deep fried diet
Yea I meant to include that as well. They don't call it the Stroke Belt for nothing.

Not all homeless are created equal. Also homeless are often not counted after they're dead, ya know? So yeah, maybe the south has more *alive* homeless people. I think you're just playing fast and loose with statistics.
Nor are local death statistics exactly accurate if you have a large influx of population in the category into the area.

Lol, okay for once you legit made me laugh cause I was immediately about to respond to that no true scottsman bullshit. Fair play.

That's not what that term means. You use that after somebody has repeatedly refined down a definition over and over in the face of abundant counter evidence. Basically all he said was that people who think he's hateful are dishonest, which is an opinion, and I agree with him.

I think an important question is how long has somebody been homeless, and how old are they?

Let's say alabama currently has 1000 currently-alive homeless people who have been homeless for three decades. Let's say california currently only has 100 currently-alive homeless people, but one dies every day. Which state has the worse homeless problem?

Also I'll reiterate that I haven't heard of any walgreens locking up their icecream freezers in alabama.

"No true Scotsman" is a white supremacist term

Whatever number you have, if you add a bunch of new folks, the rate goes down until they, too, meet the Reaper and are similarly replaced.

It's worse than you hicks think.

I once drove from Boston to Atlanta because I got a free car out of it and literally the first gas station I stopped in to take a leak in on the New Jersey Turnpike I saw a fight about who called who a f*g, good times
