Poverty, the Housing Crisis and Lobster on Food Stamps w/ Matthew Desmond
Factually! with Adam Conover
You're the Gator of the High.
America has one of the highest poverty rates of any rich country. The World Economic Forum found that almost 20% of Americans below the age of 15 were food insecure. Poverty is so harmful to us as humans that it's almost literally a disease, a physical one. But like many diseases, it can be treated. A $15 minimum wage is an antidepressant,. It's a sleep aid. It's a diet, a stress reliever. It prevents premature death and its shields children from neglect. Matthew Desmond won a Pulitzer in 2017 for his book Evicted.
