Short documentary on a difficult subject done in a compassionate way
18 December 2021
I wasn't sure if I wanted to see this at all. Live in a city where I see it everyday and it has gotten WORSE since the Reagan era, the 1980s, because of no supportive housing, stagnant wages, and lack of mental health facilities. Income inequality makes people cold and heartless. HERE'S A TYPICAL STORY A family member who worked full time since she was 15 for decades. She was an excellent worker, held responsible positions but became disabled due to neurological problems that impact her speech, memory and she has seizures. Now, she only makes $1400 per month on disability and even WITH "low income" housing - if she COULD afford it - she would barely make the rent. Her one companion is her dog and most places don't allow pets. What a life! Of course, now it is up to family members to help her out but we are struggling too. Bezos, Musk could end this misery and NOT even miss the money instead of polluting space with their carbon dioxide rocket ships.
