Episode 239 - The Crumbling London Parliament & Healthcare Homeworkers (2017x189)

: 17, 2017

Although home healthcare is one of the fastest growing professions in the United States, the workers are some of the lowest paid and least protected in the country. VICE News travels to Georgia, where domestic workers weren’t guaranteed a minimum wage until 2015. If the GOP’s new tax plan becomes law, there’ll be plenty of big winners—including large corporations and the heirs to wealthy estates. But there’ll also be quite a few losers, and among that group, oddly, will be graduate students. The London Parliament needs urgent repairs that will cost some 4.5 billion dollars and take at least six years -- and that’s only if lawmakers vote in favor of moving everybody out during the renovation. A debate on the matter is scheduled for December. Meanwhile, the asbestos-ridden, Victorian relic they’re debating the matter IN is falling apart faster than repairs can be made.
