Simply go to https://wealthion.com/poor It's true that money does not equal happiness. But the lack of money too often traps people in what's called the “working poor”, an unhappy state of paycheck-to-paycheck living defined by stress, exhaustion, overwork and a chronic inability to get ahead of one's monthly bills. Nearly 1 in 3 people in America live in financial insecurity. In this video with Linda Tirado, author of 'Hand To Mouth: Living in Bootstrap America", we take an honest direct look at the challenges facing so many of those living in a perpetual struggle of survival. And why it's so difficult to escape the gravity well of financial need once you're stuck within it. This is a very important and timely topic for our society that is not receiving enough frank discussion today. See the YouTube Video for the charts and graphics: https://youtu.be/4zQG9A3lVrc

Linda Tirado is a writer who catapulted to online fame after a casual, righteously enraged message board comment went mega-viral. Within weeks she had a book deal, TV appearances, agents, and a lot more attention than she had ever asked for or wanted. Her book, Hand to Mouth: Living in Bootstrap America, captures a working class voice that’s rarely heard in mainstream American media, and her experience with internet celebrity reflects the often terrifying ways that class functions in media culture.    

David and Michael have a very “confronting” conversation with writer Linda Tirado, who talks about what it's really like to be poor, shreds meritocracy, talks about how Chicago is more racist than Ferguson, and explains why you're both right and wrong about who Trump voters are.

The economic and social system we live in affects so much about our financial lives as women. So how do we change that? A big part of it is advocating for other women (and ourselves), and so today we’re talking to two incredible women from different generations who do exactly that, but in very different ways: Mary Beth Cahill, former executive director of Emily’s List, as well as long-time chief of staff for Senator Ted Kennedy and campaign manager for John Kerry’s presidential run in 2004; and Gaby Dunn, the writer and performer best known for her podcast and book, both titled Bad With Money. We talk about who they each see themselves fighting for, the economic impact of that and what it means to be an advocate in today's world.   Links from the show: Gaby’s podcast Gaby’s book Linda Tirado’s book Hand to Mouth

The fabled American dream suggests that grit, determination and hard work are all it takes to be successful in this country. But there's one other little thing you need for this bootstraps theory to work out: money. This week on Flyover, we hear about your experiences living in a world that assumes a bootstraps-focused meritocracy is the reality, not just the myth it appears to be. This week's guests were journalist Stepen Henderson and author Linda Tirado

Linda Tirado, author and activist, has written and spoken around the globe about what it's like to be poor in America. She now has a new project. She is seeking truth about our democracy by traveling the country and interviewing voters in the last Presidential election to find their current reaction to the Trump Administration and to the apparently stalled Congress. Tirado is finding that we have groups of disparate people living in the same geographical country but most people no longer having common goals or purposes. She contends “factionalism” has never been this bad. She challenges whether we even have a “country” beyond geography. This great divide is breeding danger: increased violence and a rise of the American style of fascism, according to Tirado. She notes that reporters, just doing their job, are not safe and that far right-wing political people blame the news media for spreading lies and “fake news” as is trumpeted by President Trump. She cites the recent assault on a reporter covering the Montana congressional race. She notes that many of the poor people who were depending on Trump to give them jobs and protect their interests are disappointed and their negative feelings are rapidly growing. As a result, Tirado contends they will probably not vote in future elections. Neither, Republicans nor Democrats should count on them voting – period. She also contends that this administration is under attack at so many levels – Congressionally, foreign-policy wise, and the investigations of Russian interference and collusion that the average person cannot follow everything happening. She calls it a “fever dream of lunacy.” It is Tirado’s contention that when people of overwhelmed that they turn off and pull inward back to their own lives and their local and family environments. In October 2014, Tirado’s book,” Hand to Mouth: Living in Bootstrap America” was published and has emerged as an extremely meritorious book about living in poverty in America. About 43.1 million Americans live in poverty and some experts challenge that number as being too low. Yet, poor people are routinely ignored by society and even chastised for not being able to work themselves out of poverty. Many, however, became a major factor in Trump’s victory in this past election. Tirado challenges traditional political thinking, fly-over reporting by news organizations, and our misunderstandings of what it is truly like to be poor in this country. She is now on assignment from major publications to determine how and what Americans are truly thinking and believing.

When GM idled its plant in Janesville, Wisconsin in 2008, the town became emblematic of a crisis facing many communities in middle America. When traditional manufacturing leaves – for whatever reason – economies are turned upside down, the collective identity changes, and very often depression sets in. While it may seem outdated to some that a community will identify with a corporation, that’s just what happened for decades. Losing the plant left many in Janesville searching for a future. This week, President Trump signed an executive order to bring jobs back to towns like Janesville, but the question is -- is it too little too late? On this episode of Indivisible, host Kerri Miller talks with Amy Goldstein, author of “Janesville, An American Story,” and Linda Tirado, author of “Hand to Mouth: Living in Bootstrap America,” about the realities of the company town and what the future holds.

Poverty Activist and Author Linda Tirado joins Dwyer in a conversation about how the Rust Belt working class know Trump is a liar, how some voters hoped to jolt the system in hopes something better would happen, and how we need to stop judging, understand and start being better people.

A federal appeals court has declined to block a lower-court ruling that suspended President Trump's immigration ban. The decision will allow previously barred travelers to enter the U.S.  President Trump weighed in on Twitter with his disapproval of the decision -- and it seems an appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court could be in the works: SEE YOU IN COURT, THE SECURITY OF OUR NATION IS AT STAKE! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 9, 2017 MPR News host Cathy Wurzer will be joined by Margaret M. Russell from Santa Clara Law and Stanford law professor Shirin Sinnar to analyse the ruling. Also in this episode we discuss the growing rural urban divide in America and how the makeup of our cities and counties affects our stance on issues, how we vote and what we want from our lawmakers. Why does a phenomenon that dates back centuries feels like it's only getting worse?  In an age of mass-media and social networking, why does the physical place we live still seem to determine so much about how we see the world? Cathy talks to Dante Chinni, Director of the American Communities Project at American University and journalist in residence at George Washington University. She is also joined by Linda Tirado, author of "Hand to Mouth: Living in Bootstrap America."

Linda Tirado, author and activist, has for the past three years written and spoken around the globe about what it’s like to be poor in America. She now talks truth to power and explains why many poor people voted for Donald Trump to tear down the Washington “Establishments” of both parties. Linda started her journey from the depths of poverty three years ago in October 2013. It began with an angry response to a poster on Gawker.com. The posting turned into an online essay “Why I Make Terrible Decisions or Poverty Thoughts” and it has now been read by over 20 million people. Tirado became a viral sensation and encountered the slings and arrows that go with instant fame. Many supported her and applauded her for her honest examination of poverty from the inside out and others criticized her both personally and for her views. She emerged from the conflagration with a book contract. In October 2014, her book, Hand to Mouth: Living in Bootstrap America was published and has emerged as an extremely meritorious book about living in poverty in America. According to a study done by the Center for Poverty Research at the University of California-Davis, the official poverty rate in the USA is 13.5 percent – based upon the Census Bureau’s 2015 estimates. That means that an estimated 43.1 million Americans live in poverty and some experts challenge that number as being too low. Yet, poor people are routinely ignored by society and even chastised for not being able to work themselves out of poverty. Tirado challenges current political thinking about the poor, fly-over reporting by news organizations, and our misunderstandings of what it is truly like to be poor in this country. She is outspoken and, some might say, brash. But, she is unapologetic about her views and her reputation of speaking truth to power as an activist, author, and journalist. Tirado talks to Spectrum this week about the current state of politics and how poor people strangely identify with President-elect Donald Trump and want to tear down the current system in Washington, D.C.

US author and activist, Linda Tirado explains the rise of Trump and suggests what can and should be done about it. Across the Western world, we’re seeing a resurgence in plain populism. The blame for this is laid at the feet of the poor. Common wisdom holds that Trump voters are usually rural, white, and lower working class. But is this objective reality, or merely the narrative we’re used to and most likely to rely on? ABOUT THE SPEAKER: Linda Tirado is a US writer and activist. Her work focuses on economic inequality and poverty-related issues, and she has lectured across America, Australia, and the UK. Her book is sold in Australia as Hand to Mouth: Being Poor In A Wealthy World.

This week, we're talking about something fundamental to city life - something we take for granted so much, we tend to forget about it altogether. This week, we're talking about water. We talk Linda Tirado, the American writer and activist who spent much of January talking to the people occupying a federal wildlife reserve in Oregon. The siege, she tells us, is actually the harbinger of water wars that could one day grip the American West. We also talk to Karim Elgendy, an Egyptian-born architect and sustainability consultant, about the crisis looming in the Middle East, where the cities are burning oil to desalinate water to extract more oil. And we look at a map of a world where there is, if anything, too much water. Skylines is the podcast from CityMetric, the New Statesman cities site. It's presented by Jonn Elledge and Barbara Speed, and is a Roifield Brown production. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
