meet those basic human needs, food, shelter and health care. and there aren't large amounts or any inon. or if there are, those will be taken up very, very quickly. >> when you have a situation like that, there's no emergency fund and now higher cost of everything is hitting your wallets harder, what advice do you give folks dealing with these high prices on a daily basis? >> we need better public policies and approaches from our elected officials for a better and fairer safety net. people shouldn't be allowed to fall this far during inflation and should have more stability over their life course. it's important for people to think about this as a problem we share all together. it's a fairness issue, a reflection of any quality that is really not something that we as spire to or want to have as americans. >> so much more including how we all can actually hold our public
