More than 45 million people, or 14.5 percent of all Americans, lived below the poverty line last year, the Census Bureau reported on Tuesday.quote:One cause of this grim trend could be that U.S. policy makers have increasingly ignored the needs of the very poor. In the latest recovery, the Republican-controlled Congress has slashed billions from the government food-stamp program and ended extended unemployment benefits that were helping more than a million long-term unemployed people. Stanford! quote:
As the feedback loop of technological advances in artificial intelligence, robotics, computers, and manufacturing become greater at a faster rate (which is already happening before our eyes) the proletariat are the class that suffers. A system that favors the bottom line and devours the blood of the underclass cannot expect to carry us forward once the every drying job market runs to dust. The rich are not your friends. They do not like you. You cannot trust them. Stay safe.
