DISPOSABLE America's Contempt for the Underclass

Sarah Mollo-Christensen performs with clear diction and a serious tone that fits this investigative reporting. Social rights journalist Sarah Jones uses personal narratives and tireless reporting to show how U.S. social policy and class discrimination make it almost impossible for America's underclass to survive. Focusing on how such people fared during the Covid years, her heartbreaking stories detail callous disregard from corporations and blatant racism and classism from government and medical institutions. The stark details and scale of this injustice are startling, making the case that barriers to social mobility and systemic discrimination toward the least among us are underreported and inexcusable. Mollo-Christensen's narration, phrasing glitches aside, makes the details clear and sounds in sync with the author's humanistic intentions.
