About this listen
This is a teaser for the full episode that will be posted on Wednesday 11/5!
This episode delves into the government shutdown, how SNAP benefits are being cut off, the Trump administration is threatening to not give all federal workers backpay, and how the debt ceiling is used to make the wealthy even richer. Carlos also talks about the persistent issue of wealth inequality and how government policies favor the wealthy over the working class. He articulates the systemic bias in government actions, highlighting that cuts and subsidies disproportionately benefit the rich while the working class bears the brunt of economic hardships.
