The whole thing makes me so angry.

The whole "get in your cars and go" message, completely oblivious to the people who have no cars and/or nowhere to go.

Either they were blinded by their own propaganda saying that all in the USA are nicely well off, or they just don't care about anyone on minimum wage.
