Society Will Punish You for Being Poor

0:00 | Emergency room at 5 AM 1:23 | The woman who worked 45 years 3:47 | Society punishes being poor 5:12 | The lie we were all sold 6:38 | Just enough to not revolt 7:44 | Are you on the right ladder? I was lying in an emergency room at 5 AM when I overheard a woman in the next section. She'd worked 45 years. She was worried she couldn't afford her treatment. That moment cracked something open in me, and I couldn't stop thinking about it. In this video I'm talking about the lie we were all sold about hard work and retirement, why the system is designed to give you just enough to stop you from asking bigger questions, and the one question I now ask myself before any major decision. If this made you think of someone you love, send it to them. And if you're parenting through grief or a major life transition and you want a space to think through things like this together, drop a comment and let me know what you're carrying right now.
