One thought on “How poor people survive in the USA”

  1. Homelessness is a labor issue and a union issue.
    The video made the point that one can become homeless and in poverty so very fast.
    What was mind boggling to me was the mayor of Los Angles was so against against the small houses, rather than working with couple that provides them.
    Thanks for running the video
