Unless I'm mistaken, employers specifically avoid employing homeless people, and having a PO box instead of a street address is a pretty strong clue that you're homeless.

you're mistaken. I've had a PO box for 30+ years and maybe 5 different employers in that time period. Admittedly anecdotal but I've never had an employer ask me about the PO box.

I wouldn't expect them to ask you. I'd expect them to ghost you. Interesting to see it isn't always that way.

True, but fixing that is way easier than somehow housing all the homeless people

Providing tax breaks to businesses that hire homeless people, off the top of my head.

Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.

As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades: Graph of temperature as observed with significant warming, and simulated without added greenhouse gases and other anthropogentic changes, which shows no significant warming

How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world: IPCC AR6 Figure 2 - Thee bar charts: first chart: how much each gas has warmed the world.  About 1C of total warming.  Second chart:  about 1.5C of total warming from well-mixed greenhouse gases, offset by 0.4C of cooling from aerosols and negligible influence from changes to solar output, volcanoes, and internal variability.  Third chart: about 1.25C of warming from CO2, 0.5C from methane, and a bunch more in small quantities from other gases.  About 0.5C of cooling with large error bars from SO2.

Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:

Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.
