I'm always impressed with these statistics of world richest country.
- ModernMech 3y agoYou don’t get rich by spending money on homeless people, of course.

- LUmBULtERA 3y agoIt's not richest per capita though, it's 9th. Still wealthy, of course, but population matters.
- baby 3y agoRichest country because money is king, not people.
- happytoexplain 3y agoWe haven't found a system that is both good at creating wealth and also distributing it (for large, diverse societies).
- chung8123 3y agoThere is not a 100% one size fits all system. There are too many cultures and beliefs, and different people to think that one system is going to get 100% of the people. 0.2% isn't horrible. Could be better and with advancements hopefully we get better but we need to allocate our resources in priority and there are a lot of issues that are going to get priority above this issue.
- keybored 3y agoDon’t frame it as if we have been experimenting like dispassionate scientists. Wannabe socialist upstarts have been meddled with to stop the “contagion” and to benefit the corporations of whatever country (banana republics) instead of the natives.

The US rate is significantly lower than UK/Australia, and much of western Europe: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sovereign_states_by_homeless_population https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sovereign_states_by_ho...
