It’s functionally a small nation, and frankly many of its “bad numbers” aren’t far off parity with the nation as a whole.

If anywhere near half the people in America can't afford to cover their basic needs now we're in for a very dark future.

I’m assuming you’re referring to the article you linked.

40% is not “near half” - it’s closer to 33% than it is 50% and I think we would both (rightfully) object to me saying “near 1/3rd.” 50% and 40% are very different numbers.

Also, that 40% figure is based on their own definition, not something that is broadly accepted.
