Med en despot i Vita Huset, med de båda amerikanska partierna i öppen, hatfylld konflikt, med utbredd fattigdom, The U.S. Can No Longer Hide From Its Deep Poverty Problem
This evidence supports on-the-ground observation in the United States. Kathryn Edin and Luke Shaefer have documented the daily horrors of life for the several million people in the United States who actually do live on $2 a day, in both urban and rural America. Matthew Desmond’s ethnography of Milwaukee explores the nightmare of finding urban shelter among the American poor.
It is hard to imagine poverty that is worse than this, anywhere in the world. Indeed, it is precisely the cost and difficulty of housing that makes for so much misery for so many Americans, and it is precisely these costs that are missed in the World Bank’s global counts.
med Gerrymandering, dvs röstdistrikt dragna för att maximera det egna partiets väljare, med miljoner amerikaner som vägras rösträtt, Florida Will Vote on Restoring Voting Rights to 1.5 Million Ex-Felons, med den kristna högern och vapenlobby som vägrar några som helst eftergifter, så saknar USA idag en fungerande regering och befinner sig i fritt fall. Hur länge kan det fortsätta såhär?
