When you lose your job in New York, you lose your teeth. Forty-four million Americans have no health insurance of any kind. No one in the elevator headed for the third floor had health insurance. This man needed medical intervention. It equates a person's value with the amount of money they'll make in a lifetime.
Women have less value than men.
The homeless have zero value. The often unemployed have zero value. On the third floor , caseworkers and clerks were overwhelmed, understaffed, and at a breaking point. A homeless man, heavy jacket stained with soup or coffee, held a newspaper and laughed hysterically. He had a thick scarf tied around his waist.
