Poverty is a ever-present emergency
In squeezing businesses and people to the brink, the just-in-time business philosophy that began with Japanese auto industry in order to reduce inventories has morphed into just-enough for our workers and even the unemployed humans that want to try to get by on scarce public services. The philosophy that the average worker now understands is one that by impoverishing our neighbor, we enrich ourselves, will end with a nation impoverished, a tower of babel surrounded by empty parking decks.
This was a short reaction to reading Matthew Desmond's Poverty, By America
