Nickel and Dimed??? Help meeee?
At the end of the book, Nickel and Dimed, Barbara Ehrenreich writes.
When someone works for less pay than she can live on-when, for example, she goes hungry so that you can eat more cheaply and conveniently then she has made a great sacrifice for you, she has made you a gift of some part of her abilities, her health, and her life. The "working poor", as they are approvingly termed, are in fact the major philanthropists of our society. They neglect their own children so that the children of others will be cared for; they live in substandard housing so that other homes will be shiny and perfect; they endure privation so that inflation will be low and stock prices high. To be a member of the working poor is to be an anonymous donor, a nameless benefactor, to everyone else.
Write a response to Ehrenreich's statement.
PLZ HELP WHAT DOES THE QUOTE MEAN AND ALSO WHAT RESPONSE?
She means that you're getting goods and services more cheaply because the working poor are being exploited.
May answer would be that she's right.
