- Robert Reich and Senator Bernie Sanders discuss how to fight Trump's agenda and how to keep building a progressive movement.
Watch More: Robert Reich and Elizabeth Warren ►► • In Conversation: Eliza...
Im a German and I really love those two gentlemen. May I say to the US society: Get well soon?
and Germany shows, how the medicare for all can work very well if all people pay a some percent of their taxes.
Edit: As some of you guys seemed having me misunderstood - what I posted wasn´t ironic. In my opinion, the german healthcare is by far one of the best in the world. But also I should mention the HC-system of other European social-democratic states (!! social is NOT socialistic !!!) like the Scandinavian countrys, Austria, the Netherlands and so on.
Andreas Delleske Thanks, we are working day and night to get well again. It is good to know that there are people around the world looking out for us.
@R C Well, we Americans need to do MORE besides just that, but getting Trump the con man OUT is a damn good start!
@@lynndaria7716 Your remark sounds as if you think we will all be paying more.
The per capita cost of health care in the US is almost TWICE what other countries pay. We pay twice as much for much less. The problem is the profit. The ACA reduced the Insurance companies profit margin to 35%. It had been higher, but no one knows how much higher because the financial workings of insurance companies were entirely private before the ACA.
Getting rid of the bloated profits of the private health insurance industry will save us money.
Andreas Delleske,I also love these wise men.Thank you for the well wishes & realizing most of us in the U.S. didn't want trump in office.Mr. Sanders in my opinion will turn our Country around in a most positive way. Especially if we vote out the Republican majority who only serve the ultra rich.
Bernie for president! Greetings from Norway.
He's the guy many countries wish for
This is your chance USA
Yep! Bernie!!! 🇮🇪 🏴
You have no idea of the level of anti - bernie propaganda on the democratic side of the fence. These people are creating chaos on this planet and barely a mention about climate change. The stupidity is atrocious.
@@Queenie-the-genie that was effective for a long time but its waning away
That's why they're suppressing the polls showing how much he's gaining on a consistent basis
They guy literally worked himself up from the bottom up
And he has built a real grassroots movement that's hard to suppress
@@williamwallace2278 mise freisin
Bernie is a god damned legend. No matter what happens he is an American hero. Strike that. A global hero.
Legend? Because he was the kid in the front of the class never raising his hand to answer a question? The teacher always picks the ones In the back.
Just like his exemplary reason why he exists and is legendary in Vermont.
ELEANOR MEDINA what?
He's a thief who says it's ok to live off our children who will have to pay for the handouts adults take today our children will pay for tomorrow
Bernie and Robert, keep going! We need you! We need your intelligence and reasoning and to give us hope.
Bernie, you just found your new Secretary of Labor.
Right, Robert is great
I would say Robert Reich for Secretary of Labor and Richard D Wolff for his Economic Adviser
Bernie Sanders need to get Andrew Yang in his Cabinet
Reich as Labor Secretary, Stiglitz as Treasurer, Gabbard as Sec of State, Inslee as Sec of Interior, Yang as Sec of Commerce.
@@greg925911 Secretary of Health and Human Services, they manage social security.
This is the only real presidential candidate / he's the people choice
1000$ PER MONTH ISN'T A VIABLE CANDIDATE?
Obviously you haven't done any research into Andrew yang
@@forgetfulfunctor2986 oh that's obviously the superior candidate
He was my choice in 2016 and and he is my choice today
You guys are going to have anoth 4 rough years
I'm so lucky to live in Vermont where we know Bernie first-hand he is a Vermont and a National Treasure
Props to Jane Sanders. She's been there for 40 years fighting the good fight along with Bernie. 💕✊🏼✌🏼🥰👏🙏🍄🐛🦋🌈💕
Bernie's strength is in long form discussion. I'm sharing this everywhere!
Agreed, enough of these televised short form DNC debates...complete waste of time.
@D B-- Most people don't have the patience to watch Bernie (or anyone) speak for 30 minutes, sadly. Then there is the segment that won't vote for anyone over 40 or 50. They won't admit that experience actually IS a benefit when someone is running for POTUS. But that's because they are young and don't have much life experience themselves. Young people have an arrogance about their own ignorance, which they can't see themselves because they don't know just how many things they know nothing about.
@@calichef1962 True but it goes for more than just the young. You can be old and have gotten through life still having no real experience. Just more years of bad ideas. It's a good thing the young are angry; it sometimes smartens them up.
There is only one other candidate that is superior
Bernie is awesome. This is a great conversation.
Two of my favorite people on the planet!
they should include Richard Wolff next time
Tribal Massive Extremely favour these two, hope.
Tribal Massive mine too! I was a socially extreme liberal(? Lol) libertarian in 2015. Pro-gay marriage , bi-racial family, pro-drug legalization-hater of limo liberals... and I started watching Reich’s white board Econ lessons. He got thru my thick skull. At the same time sanders campaign was happening.
Black lives Matter was working on the other racial injustice part of my brain.
Bam.
It broke thru. Reichs super simple way to explain complicated economic theory got me over the stupid “ taxation is theft” bullshit of the libertarian brainwashing. Trump pulled the sheets on those fake ass libertarians anyways. Most of them were just racist ass republicans that liked pot.
I'm 62 and a long time supporter of Bernie and a fan of Mr. Reich, and so are my 30 yrs old children.
He has and always will be for the people. I am talking about both of them!
Let’s make sure his name makes it on a presidential ballot.
Andrew Yang's Democracy dollars is the best idea to get money out of politics. Period
@@poker4400 It's not Andrew Yang's, it was Russ Feingold's, originally. Needing to get around ironically named "Citizen's United", Bernie will go for that too. One big thing making Bernie unique here is his commitment to a Green New Deal. That is needed due to the global scale of industry/multinational corporations/pharma we need gov't coordinated program by the gov of for and by the people, finally
@@poker4400 lmao no. The poor wont be able to get the freedom dividend because it isnt Universal, no one recieving assistance can get the freedom dividend, so it'll literally just be giving the middle class a grand each, it isn't democracy dollars. I'd support it if it was universal but its not. Also, you people literally claim this 1k will ve used for nearly everything, 12g a year is not enough for living, its not even close to a solution. These ridiculous names you people give this NOT UNIVERSAL piece of legislation are just way too self praising. Again I would support a UBI, but i wont if it is not universal and is paid through VAT. Because its paid through VAT we all are literally just being taxed more to pay for it so we arent getting any benefit anyways, the rich arent paying more; if it was funded through a corporate tax it would be good but its a tax on consumer goods so us that will be taking it, and those on welfare that cant get it, are the ones paying for it. If the freedom dividend is his solution to automation, why would you have the working class pay for it instead of those automating the jobs in the first place
@@poker4400 If you like the idea of your rent getting raised sky-high, maybe. There is no reason to vote for Yang over Bernie, imho. That said, if Yang gets the nomination, I will vote for him. Would you be willing to do the same for Bernie?
It's so great to hear you talk about the needs of the majority of the people of this country. There are so many horrible things trump and his senate do during the chaos he creates. People have been so beaten down it has taken a huge effort to get people to see one payer universal health care is possible. Higher wages, unions, education for anyone who wants one and more it's possible and better than giving money, tax cuts to the very wealthy. Thank you both for your efforts.
Only love for Bernie! Please Americans, get this man elected, It will be beneficial not only for the US but for the world
Only he can go against the fascism, corruption, ultra right propaganda, exploitation and devision of people and the greedy rich. His whole life for the people. A wonderfully voting record. Bernie 🔥💥🌶💥🔥 🌷
True
@Barry White -
dont be a dumbass...
I just made my 45th $27 donation to the Bernie campaign thru ActBlue.org. I was inspired to do so in honor of your post.
@@waynegnarlie1 Why thank you.
Just with the fact that Bernie is fighting for us out here , I rest better. Thank you Bernie
The best part is he's been fighting that fight for all of his political life. I love that he stands firmly for his fellow man. "People over profit". I hate that it's been such a fight...it should be a simple victory. I would probably fight alongside Berinie. And yes, I understand it's 2023 and this video is years old. Guess what, Bernie still stands firmly with us.
He is against our children who will have to pay for the handouts these socialists want
Has he invited you to one of his mansions?
No he don't he did not pay his campaign staff a livable wage he also said in the nineteen seventies no one should have more than a million dollars about five million in today's money guess what he has more laws for thee and not for me is Sanders motto
Bernie WILL make it, he has a calling in his spirit that no heart attack can stop. God bless you Bernie!! Love from Texas
His own party is too busy working against him.
Bernie Sanders' "special interest": the people - you!
Give $1 dollar to Bernie if you can. That is the way to get people values back. Biden can't win our guy if we as a greater mass show who we want. Wall Street is going to fight Bernie.
Doug Grinbergs
YOU are Bernie's special interest.
Oh the horror...
umkrautbitter inmeinblot already donated each time his campaign asked.
Crazy Horse
You’re name isn’t helping your statement.
@crazy horse - interesting that you would resort to ad hominem attack from the start. What about Bernie's ideas? Hes at least as sharp or sharper than the other candidates. Waaaaay sharper than the current president!
Two great men. In 1968 I made $1.65 per hour and could afford to pay rent, dental & medical bills, get groceries and save money.
Yes and what happened more government spending like Sanders wants results we now have unbelievable budget deficits and it takes two instead of one to feed a family of four democrat handouts are destroying our nation free free free and let our children pay for it all
This is why I support Bernie Sanders. He's a damn good man.
Me too!! Why isn't this man president???
Always has been carrying the baton of Freedom ❤😊
Now he just needs the support of his own party and he might get somewhere.
Bernie Sanders is THE MAN!!! I LOVE this guy!
"I never gave up on Utah", this is why Bernie will be President.
@Helga Buttercup they're 5 years apart dummy. learn how to do some research, maybe then you'd be better informed
@Helga Buttercup Bernie greedy? Trump shits in a golden toilet in Manhattan while Bernie rides the subway, and Bernie's greedy? Trump is great at shoving blatant falsehoods down people's throats.
Andrew Yang's Democracy dollars is the best idea to get money out of politics. Period
You're right. Hillary and the Centrists give up on huge swaths of the electorate, either by assuming they WILL vote for them or assuming they WON'T. Bernie just keeps plugging away, hoping to change hearts and minds towards a better vision.
@Jim McCracken sorry!!!
It breaks my heart seeing Bernie at his age out there doing 3 events a day, literally spending every last energy he has... and for what? For the dumb Americans and the mainstream media smear his name and attacking him for being radical.... America really doesn't deserve him, yet he is our last hope for a real change.
Yeah, Bernie needs to cut down to 2. Save his vocals at least on the days leading to the debates.
It's frustrating how much effort has to be put into convincing people to vote for a GOOD candidate.
@@GattlingCombo Its absolutely sickening that Bernie has to go around doing 2 or 3 events a day so the working class would give him few bucks to go against the establishment machine. And Americans are always bragging our democracy and freedom outside of the US. It's just full of shits, like MSM shitting on the people every day.
Word.
40 years of political integrity and economic progressivism is unheard of in the US. He may be more than a once-in-a-lifetime Presidential candidate. Meanwhile, the youth are apathetic and the elderly Democrats prefer Joe Biden -- who wants to cut their Social Security benefits.
First he sacrifices his voice. Now he fights his heart out! That's how much he loves his country. ... Bernie Sanders : A titan amongst men. ...Get well soon Bernie.
Robert Reich, like Joe Biden, was born in my hometown, Scranton PA. Very proud of both.
They are certainly some of the best humans we could have on our side! Fighting the good fight to make life better for every American!
💙🩵💙🩵💙
I am watching !! Bernie 2020 !!
God bless both of these fine men.
evalyn kulp
They are very sexy indeed
Robert Reich must be part of a Bernie Sanders administration, in a Cabinet position or as an adviser.
This conversation between these
Two Greats! OMG do we NEED them now!
Congratulations to our beloved Bernie Sanders in advance!!! I pray to Allah Almighty to give the Presidency of the United States to America's BELOVED Senator and the MOST deserving one, Hon. Bernie Sanders for the betterment of our Great Country, and for the betterment of the Whole World as a whole, including Israel and Palestine!!! AMEN, Yaa Rubb-al-A'lamin. So that we may have real peace and tranquility on earth.
It's great to see people of different backgrounds supporting Bernie. I'm an atheist but we're in this together and I respect you bro. #Bernie2020 #EqualityForAll #MedicareForAll
Atheist here. I'm all in for Bernie. I'll only vote for Warren if Bernie does not get the nomination.
And I'm a Christian supporting Bernie. Together we can do this.
mohammad popal What a lovely comment (tribute!)! You're so right...Sen. Sanders is BELOVED, and deservedly so. No one is perfect, but he sure does give his all for civil, economic, environmental, gender, racial and social justice...and peace.
I'm an ex-Muslim Atheist and I'm in solidarity with all of you. And not just for Americans, but the entire world needs Bernie! As a Palestinian-Venezuelan, both my countries are in turmoil. I don't trust anyone but Bernie to fight for human rights both here in the US and the rest of the world! He's the strongest candidate on foreign policy, healthcare, climate change, wealth disparity, worker's rights, anti-interventionalist wars, anti-corruption, socioeconomic structural reform, and human rights advocacy for all (minorities, refugees, prisoners, veterans, women, LGBT, etc).

We need a budget that doesn’t include money the Armed Forces don’t need. The idea that 75% of the national budget is going toward defense. Mind boggling
Well no. Military spending is only 54% and that's only if you take out social security and Medicaid.
Dewaldt, it’s more like 60% for the military, social programs is a small sliver
Dewaldt social security and Medicaid are primarily paid into directly though, which is why they're not typically counted when talking about this.
I think if he does get into power it would be best if he did raise the military budget again though by only like 2% as a token gesture. Taxing the rich is far more important and would provide more than enough money for all the social programs.
Two of the most brilliant moral thinkers America has ever produced. I hope in the future we look back on this interview and revere it as historic.
I absolutely agree ❣️❣️❣️
ABSOLUTELY LOVE SENATOR BERNIE SANDERS & DR. ROBERT REICH FOR THEIR GENIUS!!!!!!!!!
it's time for working people to win the class war.
I not go Upper Middle or Lower Class, any group of people can have no class. Behaviour, Character it shows.
@@lorrainewest7408 you make as much sense as capitalism.
@@matthewcondie4052 I think she's saying, in her broken understanding of English, that because of any one person's specific behavior, anyone in any class can have no class. Not the same topic that you raised. And just because I am here in this thread, I will double down on the idea by repeating what you said, that it is time for working people to win the class war. One of the solutions that Capitalism is racing towards is that eventually there won't be any working people left.
@@lorrainewest7408 class in the advice sense is about inherited and privileged wealth, it isn't about character.
Trump is capitalist (upper) class, but has absolutely no character.
We have the richest middle class in history and the best jobs economy in half a century.
Thank Republican deregulation and tax cuts!
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thank you President Sanders 🤞🏼
He’s not president tho
"I don't give up on Utah" *tears*
I have a great admiration for both Bernie Sanders and Robert Reich. Too bad that in Canada we don't have politicians of their level.
This video shows an intellectual conversation between the two people that I probably have the most respect for out of anyone in the world.

OMG Bernie's Team, can't wait.
Two men of incredible grace and decency. A beautiful and revealing interview.

Two Marxists. Obviously, they don't know history.
@@Charles-cs6ej Care to elaborate on their supposed historical ignorance?
@@TheRenaSystem Sure. Got a few minutes? Ever hear of Karl Marx? Here's a little history in Little Robert Reich - often exactly the person he claims to despise. He dabbles in conspiracy theories, utters egregious falsehoods about the economy and engages in acts that reek of hypocrisy. Just as an example, Reich repeatedly blathers about the horrors of income inequality while, at the same time, collecting a paycheck well north of $500,00 plus speaking fees and book income - earning substantially more than the average American CEO who, in his opinion, are profiting off the backs of the working class. The problem with him and many other critics of capitalism is that they tend to be pretty rich themselves.
After the riots in heavily immigrant communities of Sweden in 2017, Reich put the following message on his Twitter page: “Trump’s lies have consequences. 48 hrs after his comments on Sweden, riots broke out in an immigrant community.” Take a moment to appreciate just how ridiculous his comment was. He contends that a foreign nation’s president’s comments were so inflammatory that these poor communities felt compelled to engage in mass violence. The issue with the argument that our “racism” causes immigrants, people of color, Muslims, (insert victim group here) to riot is that it assumes that these communities are on the very precipice of violent behavior and one triggering event is all it takes for them to explode in heinous acts. This is what is commonly described as “the bigotry of low expectations.”
How about the false claims he makes about the economy (you know....the discipline he teaches at the premier public university in the world.) Reich published an article in Salon stating that greedy capitalists had forgotten the “basic bargain at the heart of America” where employers paid employees enough to purchase the product they are selling. He claims that the recession of 1929 was caused by most of the economic gains going to rich elite (people like Reich himself) and not to the workers. A more articulate description of his argument is found in Karl Marx’s “Das Kapital.” This is an explicit falsehood. One brief look at the Historical Statistics of the USA would tell you that, in the years leading up to the Great Depression, wages across the board increased. In fact, labor’s share of the national economy has risen in the years leading up to practically every recession and has fallen during recoveries, relative to the share of the capital.
This basic fact of Macroeconomics 101 is something that college freshmen understand - but seems to need to be explained to Professor Reich.
Two clueless doors hawking socialism
Excited to see Bob in Bernie's cabinet.
I LOVE BOTH OF YOU GUYS❣
MY LITTLE ROCK STARS❣
THANK YOU FOR BEING HUMAN❣
Saw this in 2017 & have been phone-banking and canvassing and table-ing for Sanders since. Artists for Bernie 20/20
good for you, hope your activism is still energizing you!
I like Bernie more and more.
I hope Robert Reich get a postion in Bernie's Administration!
Bernie is the revolution we’ve been waiting for, for the last 50 years!!!
Feel the Bern the showen one who cares about all humans . The most honest Senator whos been on the right side of history .
Hopefully the Trump backlash in 2020 will pave the way for progressives like Bernie Sanders to pass laws that offer tangible improvements to Americans' daily lives.
If you think he cares, if you think he's honest, or if you think that he's on the "right side of history," then you are a dangerously stupid person. If he cared, he'd know better than to advocate for the provably dangerous and disastrous policies for which he stands. If he was honest, then he would be willing to engage with people who could teach him how markets actually work and the results of what happens when you try to combat their nature. If he was on the right side of history, he wouldn't have praised breadlines or vacationed in the Soviet Union.
He's an idiot or a fraud, maybe both. You're an idiot if you believe the things you said and you are fooling yourself if you think you care, but don't even understand the incredible detriment these men's ideals have caused to people historically.
Just remembered Bernie isn't just dishonest with himself, he constantly lies to his constituents when he compares his democratic socialist ideals with Scandinavian countries. Not only is it a dishonest comparison, the prime minister of Denmark even said publicly Bernie needs to stop claiming that shit.
Don't you see you are brainwashed by the evil called Trump.
The US lead the world towards social justice and the Earth healing thanks to the 46th President of the US. Bernie is remembered by generations of the next millennium as a saviour.
DEL J you are not even worthy of replying to
@@carolinepatton3465 Yeah, if you think that understanding economic policies and their impacts means that someone has been brainwashed by Trump, then you're disturbingly stupid.
First of all, I've been studying economics before Trump was even being considered for a political position. His economic policies are horse shit, too. Secondly, assuming someone has been "brainwashed" or that Trump is "evil" compared to any other politician is a sign of some sort of cognitive impairment.
Also, the level of worship in your comment is disgusting. No politician is worth praise, but especially Bernie. Any person who worships a politician is a perfect example of why democracy is a bad idea. Only the same idiots that think the USSR was awesome will be the people thinking Bernie was any good at all.
Let us stand together 🧡
These are real people, the kind that everyone can associate with. and something this Country can use a lot more of.
Had to share this! People need to see this, Bernie is a one in a lifetime candidate ❤
Seeing you two together warms my hearth and believe in a better future again

@@apacheattackhelicopter8410 Then why did you vote for Trump? The very rich enjoy social welfare in tax cuts, bankruptcy bailouts and many do not even pay Federal taxes. That's socialism for them and agonizing Capitalism for the rest of the working middle class with limited access to health care, unregulated increase in car and home insurance and lack of opportunities to get a well paid job even after college.

Sucker.
It should've been Bernie in 2016 & 2020.
However sadly the system was rigged against Senator Sanders.
Bernie Sanders is the only Senator that reads the Bills, & Expanded Medicare For All would save U.S taxpayers $450 Billion dollars a year in Healthcare costs! 😊
And then his own party buried him in the primaries, and not only would be have beat Trump, but his reelection wouldnt be anything but an absolute certainty and his protege would have won the election after that. Instead we have to worry about the real chance of trump getting his fat ass back into the white house.
Commenting for the algorithm. Doing all I can for Bernie
The world needs Bernie in the Whitehouse. For real Change, for the climate, health and the sanity of the world!
Who would pay for all the handouts he promises we already have a debt so big it defies belief we leave to our children and the top five percent pay over half the federal taxes will you pay half your income to the government if not why not
@@fritzforsthoefel8031Because, well, read The Deficit Myth for that basics and Money for Nothing and My Tweets for Free by Richard Murphy for a more complex answer, both leading academics in their respective fields.

A couple of brilliant, wise men and how much does the world need more people like this...... great discussion amongst 2 friends. Thank you.
Literally 2 of my favorite people whom I truly respect & admire & have for decades.
We need public funding of elections and if accept public funding you get the label of "clean candidate." I love Bernie Sanders and the people I learned economics from were also great humanitarians. They genuinely cared about the working class and the poor.
#46 President Sanders and First Lady Jane!
How loved this incredibly loving couple will be.
Thank you Robert!
Follower from Australia, we really need a global Revolution.
Fantastic the two people I admire the most Sanders and Reich ... Thank you for continuing the work we all should embrace
We should embrace paying our bills instead of leaving our thirty two trillion dollars in debt to our children that's what Bernie Sanders seems to believe in adults living off our children free free free
There's only one man that is capable of progressive systematic change to our fractured country and he just did an amazing interview with another great progressive mind. America needs to fix the wrong timeline we're in with President Sanders.
Yeah but that is not how democracy works
Then pay half your income to the government to pay for the handouts he wants otherwise we add it to the debt our children will have to pay for stop bankrupting our nation by voteing for handout democrats
Uncle Bernie and uncle Reich in one Video, now I've seen it all. Thank you 👍
Thanks for introducing Jane. How lovely to know they have each other in this life..
Love, Love, Love Bernie Sanders ❤Robert Reich would be a great Fed Chair 😊
Bernie: " It's all crap." ... Well said. Thank you, Sen. Sanders. He has my vote. He had it in 2016 and he has it now. BERNIE2020! GET READY!
Bernie is the only one who gives a shit about "Us."
Amen to that! #FeelTheBern2020
Never believe a democratic socialist
Unfortunately not in 2020
And then he pulls out of the race lol
I met Mr Reich a few months ago and I said " We're gonna' get 'em ! "
Next time coffee on me !
John Waller Great comment. What a fun memory of another truly remarkable man. No surprise he and Bernie are fast friends a well as colleagues in mind and heart.
get well soon after heart stents, bernie.
It's not just billionaires who are causing the problem, but folks who are hooked on this libertarian economics ideology that is against government that helps people and preaches self-reliance, hoping that free enterprise will make them rich too someday.
Not against government just against ones who vote for Sanders and won't pay the taxes to pay for them we have a debt so big it defies belief because of democrat handouts democrats wont pay for why is that
@@fritzforsthoefel8031 The problem is that a few rich people now get 500 to 1000 times more money than regular people, just because they can, and they did not earn it, and so they should pay more taxes so that the regular people can get what they really earn. We have a big debt because of tax cuts for the rich. People who need more help from the government today, need it because of this great inequality in our economy. A few CEOs and financiers get many millions every year while wage earners and small businesses get a pittance, thanks to failure to enact minimum wage laws and higher taxes on the rich. Some rich people are Democrats willing to pay, but it is the rich of any or no Party who need to pay more taxes, and pay their workers more too. The rich are not job creaters; people who buy things are. If no-one has any money, who will buy the stuff that these companies owned by rich people make? Our economy is socialism for the rich. Don't believe the lies. Listen to Nick Hanauer and Thom Hartmann.
"If you care about those issues, it's not enough" is a difficult but essential pill for the people to swallow.
This interview moved me to tears! ❤️
Thank you for this informative conversation....
I'm a senior citizen and a Bernie voter. I am fed up with the corporate power over our government.
The two men I most admire in all the world. The world needs to hear...really hear these men.

@@jonh8488 you're absolutely right!
It would be nice to see these 2 dude's as President and Vice President. I like their hearts.
Finally😍❤️ I’ve been waiting for this for over a year! Hope for more & would love if Robert joined Bernie’s team & eventually administration.
October 2023 We need more federal programs. I work for a multi billionaire. I have to go to work as busser with a broken wrist to avoid homelessness. It takes 4 months for my insurance to kick in. Europeans are appalled at the inhumane conditions in the USA. So am I. But I'm also disgusted by it. Thank you for at least trying to help us. We have a humanitarian crisis in the USA.
