I read this Matt Desmond article and... I don't know. I appreciate his argument about exploitation (of workers, and of poor people) as a cause of poverty. But the article starts out by first implying that our safety net in the US is just fine, and... no! 🧵nytimes.com/2023/03/09/magaz…

46% who did not seek legal help for one or more problems cite concerns about cost
53% doubt their ability to find a lawyer they could afford
Imagine if this study surveyed middle income Americans too
LSC's just-released report shows that the nation's #justicegap is huge. Low-income Americans received no or inadequate legal help for a staggering 92% of the civil legal problems that impacted them substantially. justicegap.lsc.gov/

Yes! A great follow-up review of UK legal sector from @StephenMayson: we should stop focusing on consumer harm in legal regulation and focus instead of legal well-being--by making sure people have reasonable affordable access to people-centred justice. tinyurl.com/3dbfm2rz
