{"store":{"baseInfo":{"podcastTitle":"Solutions for the Underaffiliated","slug":"ericjcarrig","podcastDescription":"Solutions for the Underaffiliated is a podcast for people who want hope and action because they are fed up with finger-pointing and incivility. We represent action, by providing examples of it.\n\nIts purpose is to inspire people through the examples our guests from the region, state, and country describe. We talk about potential solutions related to: climate change, economic opportunity, education, rights and justice, healthcare, and public safety.\n\nDuring each episode, we lay out the current state of a particular issue from the perspective of our guest. Then we lay out the challenges, usually through a review of the key stakeholder, e.g. government, industry, the media, special interests, and regular Americans. We identify what needs to change.\n\nThen we explore solutions that are either already underway by the group or guest as well as actions our audience could take to influence change and hold people accountable.","podcastLogo":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/imglogo/image-logo/16012246/IMG_7694_copy_zr2znu.jpg","podcastShareLogo":"https://d2bwo9zemjwxh5.cloudfront.net/image-logo/16012246/IMG_7694_copy_zr2znu_1200x628.jpg?s=410bbb5a70ad56824e95a42999ca3701&e=jpg","podcastUrl":"https://ericjcarrig.podbean.com","podcastCanSearched":true,"feedUrl":"https://feed.podbean.com/ericjcarrig/feed.xml","theme":"elegant","podcastDeepLink":"https://www.podbean.com/pw/pbblog-nti8t-f453d6?from=usersite","removePodbeanBranding":"no","brandingLogo":null,"timeZone":{"timeZoneId":15,"gmtAdjustment":"GMT-05:00","useDaylightTime":1,"value":-5,"text":"(GMT-05:00) Eastern Time (US & Canada)","daylightStartTime":"Second Sunday Of March +2 Hours","daylightEndTime":"First Sunday Of November +2 Hours","timezone":"America/New_York"},"podcastDownloads":null,"totalEpisodes":76,"showComments":true,"iOSAppDownloadLink":null,"customizeCssUrl":null,"androidAppDownloadLink":null,"showPostShare":true,"showLike":true,"author":"Eric Carrig","enableEngagementStats":true,"shareEmbedLink":"https://admin5.podbean.com/embed.html?id=pbblog-nti8t-f453d6-playlist","language":"en","sensitivitySessionExpireTime":3600,"podcastApps":[{"name":"Apple Podcasts","link":"https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/solutions-for-the-underaffiliated/id1674959830","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/apple-podcast.png","title":null},{"name":"Podbean App","link":"https://www.podbean.com/pw/pbblog-nti8t-f453d6?from=usersite","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/podbean-app.png","title":null},{"name":"Spotify","link":"https://open.spotify.com/show/0rH7PwExGFIhdg9HbP60S6","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/spotify.png","title":null},{"name":"TuneIn + Alexa","link":"https://www.underaffiliated.com/podcast","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/tunein.png","title":null},{"name":"iHeartRadio","link":"https://iheart.com/podcast/112276576","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/iHeartRadio.png","title":null},{"name":"Podchaser","link":"https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/solutions-for-the-underaffilia-5200000","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/Podchaser.webp","title":null}],"components":{"base":[{"id":"MainStyle","val":"light"},{"id":"Font","val":"Avenir"},{"id":"SecondaryFont","val":"Avenir"},{"id":"PlayerColor","val":"#8fc31f"},{"id":"PlayerStyle","val":"player1"},{"id":"PlayerWave","val":"show"},{"id":"Favicon","val":null},{"id":"CookiesNotice","val":"hide"},{"id":"CookiesNoticeContent","val":"

MANNA Food Bank not only distributes food in 16 counties to those who qualify for food benefits. It feeds working people who earn too much to qualify for benefits but too little to eat after rent, car expenses, and other bills.

There isn't a food shortage. We have rich-person prices and working class wages.
