...you understand that Musk isn't the incoming president either, right?

    Yes. This is still not really an elucidation (would that be the word?) on the point you're trying to make, which I'm still trying to understand. I assume you mentioned musk because he's part of Trumps incoming cabinet. That struck me as odd considering you're commenting on an article describing something that has happened during the last year of Bidens' tenure, which is why I asked what I asked. Your vague condescention doesn't really do anything other than make you come off as a redditor fresh out of the echo chamber. Your weird reaction to being asked a question is quite ugly, is this the first time you're engaging in conversation?

    Homelessness is a constant issue. I took your comment as suggesting that because this article is about an increase in homelessness under Biden, that homelessness in general is something the president controls directly.

    The purpose of my comment was mostly sarcasm. The need for the /s tag is real, I guess.

    Ultimately: the fact that a key advisor to Trump wants to push the narrative that homelessness is not an issue suggests that everything mentioned in the article is likely to get worse quite soon.

    I don't think I had a weird reaction. Your comments were equally vague.

    Edit/PS- not a redditor. No need for ad hominem attacks.

    You mean my direct question to your vague statement? Pot and kettle buddy.

    No need for ad hominem attacks.

    An ad hominem is not "when I insult you" nor is it an attack, though I'm not surprised you perceive as such, considering how defensive you are. An ad hominem is a logical fallacy wherein the quality of an argument is tied to the quality of a person. I can call you a dumbass all I want without committing a logical fallacy - It's just being rude.
    If you're gonna cry about fallacies, then learn what they are.
