    no thats simply not true they’re are way more homeless people then even millionaires in the U.S.

    your line of thinking falls in line with the the delusional illusion of temporarily embarresed millionaire trope

      The original meme says “technically”, it’s talking about numbers, that’s it. Your bias toward the embarrassed millionaire trope led you to miss the point.

      What about what he said isn’t true ? Both things are true. And the ratio between millionaires and homeless has nothing to do with it. A millionaire is closer to being homeless than elon musk being millionaire.

        And that’s just geometric distance! Measured Arithmetically, everyone poorer than Warren Buffet is closer to being homeless than they are to elon musk.

      • US homeless population: 770,000
      • US millionaire population: 6.9 million

      Stats from statista, and scrutinisable but ballpark accurate. Is 770,000 much too high? yes.
