WLIA Ep 13: Education or Housing but not Jobs 5/16/23

I return with a more focused episode based on the reveal that HVCC seeks to replace the public housing project In Lincoln park with more adult education facilities. I discuss the local lack of support and the broader issue of work and poverty with a primer in a public job guarantee rather than endless promises of the right education being the means to stable employment and security.
