There is no reason to be ashamed or embarrassed. Mocking lower incomes is exactly how those who benefit from + promote wealth inequality the most keep everyday people silent about 1 of the worst threats to American society: that the rich are getting richer and the poor, poorer.https://twitter.com/Blavity/status/1060943538509307904 …

40% of ALL Americans currently struggle to pay for one basic need like food or rent.
As much as @FoxNews likes to mock the working-class, the real scandal is that at the wealthiest point in our history, we are at one of our most unequal.
Most Americans are barely scraping by.
I've heard of a lot of young Congresspeople (is that a word?) sleeping in their offices until they can afford a place to live.
Presently there are 14, Yes 14: Go Fund Me Campaigns started for Alexandra's Apartment. & Yes, most new Congresspeople Share Apartments or Commute. I know Sen Schumer did & think he still bunks with others. Alex, the representative of the common man: needs to go first class ??
It is called a lack of preparation. Perhaps this is a political stunt.
I slept on a mattress on the floor by the kitchen while my family was on welfare during my last two years of high school. I graduated from Caltech in 1984, and have spent a lifetime gleefully disproving negative stereotypes about welfare recipients. I'm proud of my journey.
That’s awesome! Thx for sharing!
Remember when a newly elected Australian Labor Party MP was laughed at for wearing a very old fashioned suit on his first day. It was his wedding suit; the only one he owned. Having MPs who understand ordinary people is a good thing.
Who was the MP?
