Ten more statistics to ruin your day
By Gideon Isaac
Just in case you're feeling too cheerful, here are ten more statistics to make you consider emigrating to Mars:
1. Paul Bond quotes a poll by the Barna Group: "Nearly 40 Percent of U.S. Gen Zs, 30 Percent of Young Christians Identify as LGBTQ, Poll Shows." (The Gallup Poll shows considerably less) However, Heather McDonald writes in City Journal that: "The number of trans-identifying students is rising exponentially, leading to majorities in the student bodies of the most progressive schools. This rise is without any historical precedent. It is proof of social contagion, not of a preexisting biological reality."
2. We read in Breitbart that a poll shows that a majority of Americans aged 18-24 say the Hamas massacre of Israeli civilians was ‘justified.’ Note, this is not because they don't know what Hamas did:"62 percent of that same group say that the attacks were “genocidal,” …and 51 percent said it was still justified." This doesn't seem fair to me. If you or I go and murder, or decapitate, or burn people alive, we would not get a pass. But Hamas is about 'decolonization', bursting out of an 'open air prison,' paragliding to annihilate people you don’t like -- so that’s justice!
3. A friend of mine moved to Arizona years ago to escape New York taxes. Though that state is overly hot six months of the year, he liked the place. Now, he says, the highway exit ramps are filled with homeless, and statistics back up his observation: from January 2020 to December 2021, the number of homeless in AZ is estimated to have increased by nearly 30 percent. The National Alliance to End Homelessness says that homelessness rates have been climbing nationally by about 6% every year since 2017. Homeless encampments are growing across the country.
