2:17Now PlayingOn this heartfelt episode of Pushing the Limits, host Brian Shapiro speaks with Terri, a 74-year-old listener who was laid off from her casino job just three weeks ago.
Terri shares her personal story:
🎰 How the downturn in tourism and the economy devastated her livelihood.
🎰 Why working in the casino—even at a simple position—gave her purpose, joy, and daily connection.
🎰 How being laid off left her devastated and uncertain about her future.
Brian empathizes with her struggle and highlights the political stakes:
🔴 The Trump administration continues to blame others while the unemployment rate rises.
🔴 Many Republicans push to cut unemployment benefits, leaving people like Terri with fewer options for survival.
🔴 These safety nets exist to help seniors and workers who, through no fault of their own, lose jobs.
This emotional exchange is a reminder of the real human cost of bad economic policies. It’s not just about numbers—it’s about people like Terri, who work hard, love their jobs, and deserve support in tough times.
