"The question we should ask everytime we see someone asleep on the bus, slumped over in work clothes: 'Who benefits?' Not 'Why don't you find a better job?' but 'Who is feeding off this?' " - M Desmond
A valid question to ask in Australia as much as America #povertybyamerica 💙 📚

"This country of ours should be in the business of helping its people create wealth, but it should not be in the business of heavily subsidizing it."
#PovertyByAmerica #MatthewDesmond

"In many corners of America, a pricey mortgage doesn't just buy a home; it also buys a good education, a well-run soccer league, and public safety so thick & expected it appears natural, instead of the product of social design." #PovertyByAmerica #MatthewDesmond

"Most social problems are complicated, of course, but a retreat into complexity is more often a reflection of our social standing than evidence of critical intelligence."
#PovertyByAmerica #MatthewDesmond

Just two of my favorite activists talkin bout what drives me. #PovertyAbolition wasn't in my vocab back then, but the temporary alleviation of my own poverty and #PovertyByAmerica put me on the road to education and the fight to end poverty for all. #MatthewDesmond #JonStewart

I ❤️📘. 📸 before fixing the mirror effect on my 📱 😅. 🗒️Desmond 2023 p 174 notes, "Scarcity pits issue against issue, and neighbor against neighbor." Further on, "the story of class politics in America has been a story of white worker against Black, native against newcomer."

'Poverty, By America' shows how the rest of us benefit by keeping others poor Pulitzer winner for Evicted Matthew Desmond examines why the U.S. has more poverty than other rich nations. He finds it spends big on social programs, but gives the most to those who need it least.

$177 Billion would end poverty in America. The current tax that billionaires owe, would cover it.

Return on investment in poor people for the country is greater than the return on investment in rich people.

What a great argument by #mattewdesmond #povertybyamerica

Princeton sociologist #MatthewDesmond had a fantastic interview on #TheDailyShow— a practical, sane discussion about how we can turn around the lives of the 99% and bring back hope for everyone. His book is a must-read: #PovertyByAmerica.

He has some interesting, potentially viable ideas that IMO are worth exploring. The current SocioPotus wouldn’t go for them, but anyone with common sense would.
