True...if we had a Repub President a LOT more of the unhappiness would be blaring in the MSM.

Where's all the stories about the homeless, for example? Haven't seen any as far as I can recall.

Where's all the stories about the homeless, for example?

In 1991-92 stories on homelessness, thousands turning out for dozen of burger-flipping jobs, lines at food banks, starving kids, etc. were all part of the nightly national news.

I know homelessness in my area is up because I meet them when out walking in my community. These are new faces, including some women for the first time in the decades I've been here. I've checked, there aren't shelter beds available for the men, a few exist for women. Most of the availability is for runaway teenagers.

There's are real gaps in a so-called "social safety net" that overly favors migrants, minorities, punishes savings and upward mobility.
