40% of Americans couldn’t cover a $1,000 unexpected expenditure. That’s not just an economic disadvantage; it’s a source of chronic tension & anxiety. If our political establishment wants to help with the mental health crisis it might start by not leaving so many in such despair.

40% don’t have money for a $400 emergency. 50 million can’t buy basic necessities.

If the American people were involved in their own Democracy, these disparities would not be a thing, richest country in the world and all. @berniesanders was talking about Millionaires until he became one, now the billionaires are his target. Wanna talk about that?!🤷🏽‍♀️

How many of those %40 have iPhones, Netflix, Amazon Prime and a music streaming service subscription?

It is sick to know that so many people (kids and animals too) suffer so much and do nothing. Lets help our brothers and sisters.

The solution in the past as been to issue credit cards and keep the public in debt so they can be controlled. Do you have a solution better than that? I am all ears...
