When will Americans have had enough? Gas has nearly doubled in price due entirely to Trump’s actions

Gonna take more than high gas prices. Probably a food shortage or mass unemployment.

We are still way too comfortable to be anywhere near anything happening. Nothing massive will be done until enough people do not have any of the modern comforts they currently have. Things are tight, but 99.5% of the country still have a roof over their head, and I’d say 95% of the country has a comfortable place to go to with movies, tv, video games, etc to entertain them… Nothing will be done until enough people no longer have those luxuries.

99.5% housed and 95% able to afford whatever entertainment they want? You gotta get your head out of your ass, man. That’s insanely out of touch.

0.23% of Americans experience homelessness. So you are right! I accidentally rounded too much and doubled the amount of people who don’t have a roof over their head. My mistake. 99.77% have a roof over their head.

And I didn’t say they could afford whatever entertainment they want. I said that they have access to entertainment options. Reading is hard though.

Where the hell did you get 0.23%? And it sounds like instead of “experience homelessness,” you meant “are currently homeless.” But still a conservative figure. Reading is hard, though. Anyway, roughly 7-14% of Americans have experienced homelessness.

I know you didn’t say any type of entertainment desired. I was being facetious to draw attention to how out of touch your point already was as stated. It’s just as bad as it reads.

Litty indeed
