Abdul El-Sayed: Being Poor Is Not a Failure, We Need To Push Back Against the ‘Cult of Hard Work’

RUSH EXCERPT:

EL-SAYED: “We’ve got this culture in our society that we’ve allowed to fester where we think that when people when people don’t have means it’s because they have failed Poverty is not a failure That when people live in persistent poverty it is a failure on our society and not on those people and that we should be driving that conversation and have the courage to have that conversation against this cult of hard work like everybody’s got bootstraps to be pulling up Amen brother”
