Record number of Americans are homeless amid nationwide surge in rent, report finds

A growing number of Americans are ending up homeless as soaring rents in recent years squeeze their budgets.
According to a Jan. 25 report from Harvard's Joint Center for Housing Studies, roughly 653,000 people reported experiencing homelessness in January of 2023, up roughly 12% from the same time a year prior and 48% from 2015. That marks the largest single-year increase in the country's unhoused population on record, Harvard researchers said.

It just seems like really sarcastic trolling to me.
I realize there's a higher than normal level of autism on Lemmy in general but sometimes the obvious sarcasm people miss is just wild.
Ever since 2016, people's ability to detect sarcastic comments without the "/s" tacked on has just fucking gone out the window. People are just taking comments at face value and assuming the worst in each other anymore. I kind of get it sometimes though, there does seem to be alot of stupid people online, though in some cases it's like people are purposefully misinterpreting comments. It's so weird.
