Economic Update: Criminalizing the Homeless with Rob Robinson

[EU S14 E28] Criminalizing the Homeless On this week’s Economic Update, Professor Wolff discusses a huge victory for Uber and Lyft drivers' struggling for better wages in Massachusetts; we also bring to your attention six United States senators who criticized Jamie Dimon, CEO of JP Morgan Chase for failing to curb fossil fuel investments as he promised. In addition, we discuss the unfortunate new law passed by the new right-wing government in Greece extending the working week to six days. Finally, we close our program with an Interview with longtime activist Rob Robinson, on the latest Supreme Court decision Grants Pass v. Johnson, which essentially criminalizes the homeless poor as part of its extreme right-wing change. Rob Robinson is a formerly homeless individual who has dedicated his life to advocating for the rights of the homeless and for affordable and sustainable housing.
