This is such a crucial conversation. THANK YOU for having Ai-jen Poo on as a guest.
Poverty (and low-income) is/are a real thing in this country.

What an inspirational, humble and generous soul Ai-Jen Poo is.

Empathic leaders pushed by their mentors, that is the way to enlightenment.

She is an empathetic, humble and beautiful soul. If the US ever becomes a force for good in the world it will be because of people like her..

Thank you for mentioning and highlighting the impact of the Filipino domestic workers here in the US for all of US.
The shout out has been long overdue.

Great point about how change is always a group effort. But groups are always out there, like potential energy waiting to be tapped. What gets them to come together around a singular purpose and message is usually a great leader like Yang or Ai-Jen.

Wow, I wish I could get involved in politics and on a potential Yang campaign. Unfortunately i’m just a nobody at a community college in Lousiana.

Andrew please interview Louis Rossmann, that soul would be a very interesting conversation

To be fair, I think the argument that poor/low income people "still can't pay rent" is kind of an excuse. I make about $12K/year and I can still pay rent- BUT, that comes with a HUGE decrease in expenses and QUALITY OF LIFE. It's argued as if it's not "possible, " but really it's about what's REASONABLE for people to endure most of their life. The reality is people can SURVIVE on very little money- BUT THAT ISN'T LIVING.

Also, property managers/landlords punish poor people by charging exorbitant late fees. So if you couldn't pay rent, now you have to pay $100+ on top of what you couldn't pay. In many other ways, society punishes the poor like this. Which only exacerbates the cognitive toll of poverty, and the deleterious mindset of scarcity.

more money than gawd as the saying goes. Yachts owners and dictators wannabes have more than enough for a mere mortal.
