QUOTES BY Barbara Ehrenreich

"Employers have gone away from the idea that an employee is a long-term asset to the company, someone to be nurtured and developed, to a new notion that they are disposable."

"America is addicted to wars of distraction."

"We who officially value freedom of speech above life itself seem to have nothing to talk about but the weather."

"We love television because television brings us a world in which television does not exist."

"Natural selection, as it has operated in human history, favors not only the clever but the murderous."

"Medical debts are the number-one cause of bankruptcy in America."

"The internet was supposed to make this whole business of job searching rational and simple. You could post your resume and companies would search them and they'd find you. It doesn't seem to work that way. There aren't enough jobs for experienced, college educated managers and professionals."

"If there is something I am arguing, it is a critique of science. Science has consistently denied the existence of consciousness other than human. Only in the last 20 years do we have acknowledgement of animal feeling or culture or experience."

"Lenders, including major credit companies as well as payday lenders, have taken over the traditional role of the street-corner loan shark, charging the poor insanely high rates of interest."

"My death is incidental, and I worry very much about my loved ones and, you know, would like to make it as easy as possible for them. Or wish I could will away whatever, you know, the sadness they will feel when I die. But for me, nothing. The world goes on."
