Have I mentioned how much I love the criminal punishment system?

🧵When 65% of middle-class Americans say they're struggling financially, it’s clear that existing measures of economic need don't tell the whole story. A national #TrueCostofLiving measure will show hard-working Americans they are SEEN by their government cssny.us/truecostoflivi…
