And funny that China, for all its communism, still has a 2-3M homeless people to the US's 500k. USSR also had homelessness, they just didn't count them and said everyone has a right to a house so being homeless is illegal and then swept them under the rug. --- https://imgur.com/O3syCWD https://imgur.com/k3YiBdG <cite>KILBOTz posted [p:956833873] in Twitter to...
