Harris returned to familiar themes on a day of perfect Atlanta weather, describing the “opportunity economy” as one that brings down the cost of living for prescription medication, groceries and housing through anti-price-gouging initiatives, while providing financial support for new parents and entrepreneurs.
Extending Medicare coverage for home healthcare services would prevent working adults from having to quit a productive job or spend down savings to take care of aging parents. “It’s about dignity,” she said in the city’s Lakewood Amphitheater.
Harris will attend services Sunday at New Birth Missionary Baptist Church, a majority-Black megachurch in the heart of Atlanta’s Black suburbs in south DeKalb county. New Birth and other large Black churches in Georgia traditionally organize a “souls to the polls” push on Sunday early voting days.
sounds like we are getting another four years of relying on Christian and corporate goodwill to fill in the gap brought on by nonliving wages and a lack of universal healthcare
nothing out of Harris about living wages, police reform like the Cop City she passed on the way to Atlanta, nothing about protecting the environment, nothing about the rise of homelessness, nothing about the senior centers here in the US that are understaffed in buildings that are not kept up
she knows nothing about having to make hard choices regarding the care of elderly parents at home just like with her summer job at McDonalds she knows nothing about going without healthcare or struggling to pay high energy costs or having to pay out of control housing costs or the out-of-control vehicle insurance costs
Harris came out as a sheep in wolf's clothing but the closer we get to elections the more we see she is just a wolf in sheep's clothing
