Sam Mitchell of Collapse Chronicles on YouTube, reads from online sources about the sad state of Poverty in America from Common Dreams dot org. The facts are in and Americans have it much harder than recently thought.
In today's Chronicle of the Collapse, I turn once again to Common Dreams for more evidence of how the economic collapse is unfolding here in the good ol' USA...

London, England is a very popular place for travlers. I wonder why there is so much poverty going on there?

@lookatdesktop Wage growth has been lagging inflation, so that people working are having to claim welfare benefits. Don't think that is how it is supposed to work

Lower taxes for the middle class, offer affordable health care, free college education for all, stop spending excessively on the military budget and support better education, diversity of culture, clean up the environment, create jobs that do not require a college level of education just to make a decent salary. Safer working conditions for laborers and factories and warehouses and more education for trades related jobs for people at high school level and so on.
