Why couldn't LA offload homelessness and immigration to another state, if you say that's such an effective strategy for these European states?
Also I didn't hand-pick the source, it's just a piece of info I came across while reading https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31705542 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31705542 which had a link to clearerthinking.org which had a quiz called "Political Bias Test" (wouldn't recommend it btw, at least not for the advertised purpose; it's more of a "do you know random stats about the world" quiz) which had a question about social mobility with the aforementioned source. The website seems to be made by an organisation founded in New York, but it's not clear to me whether a European made this particular quiz question.
- gamblor956 4y agoMost of LA's homeless are the offloaded homeless from other states; we ship as many of them back as we can but we can't legally force them to go back to their homes. At any rate, it seems the European HNers took issue with learning that their tiny homogenous countries do better than a country with a larger population than their entire continent. Which is made possible because the U.S. pays for their defense.
