Wow, this is retarded. But not even for the retarded argument, but also for the retarded presentation.
You don't put a percent in a 'per x' statement. Percent is already per 100. Also, She meant "0.7." 07% is the same as 7.0%, which is...larger than 5.7%. Due to her poor framing, she actually said Japan has a higher murder rate than the US.
Also, I like how, again, just due to inept framing, she seems to be lumping the poor and murder in together. It sounds like she's saying poor people are bad.
If she wasn't too retarded to do any better than cargo cult statistical manipulation she could keep the % and drop the per 100k instead of randomly putting % after the actual number of homicides per 100k
She accidentally stumbled on good propagandist stat manipulation by using whole population homeless numbers rather than rate there though. With Japan having a smaller overall pop that comparison is obviously going to favor Japan.
True, but you can just tell at a glance that it wouldn't matter; Japan's population isn't small enough to not make those numbers a drastic per capita difference too. As someone else pointed out, though, it's not because Japan loves the poor, it's because they don't tolerate and incentivize that shit. They don't take care of their homeless, per se...you're just not allowed to be homeless, and you don't get paid for it.
Just for the sake of curiosity: If Japan had the rate of homeless of the US, they'd have around 15,500 homeless in Tokyo alone...more than five times the alleged number of the whole country.
