In the United States, why do so many live in constant fear of financial ruin, medical debt, or losing their home? The pervasive truth is, the USA's "safety net" is riddled with holes, not by accident, but by design. We have been told our struggles are personal failures, distracting us from the systemic cracks that leave millions vulnerable and isolated. In No One Drowns, Robertson challenges this devastating lie.
He exposes how our current systems are deliberately built to prioritize profit over people, trapping individuals in cycles of precarity and eroding our collective well-being and mental health. Robertson outlines a bold vision for building a secure "floor" beneath every American, ensuring access to housing, healthcare, a livable income, quality education, and supportive communities. He reveals how these changes are not only humane but economically smart, and he offers a revolutionary path to achieve them, starting locally and building momentum for national transformation.
Through compelling insights and a down-to-earth philosophical lens, No One Drowns argues that our deepest problems stem from human-made constructs, like money, business, and social class, that we have the power to question and reshape. This is a call to action for every citizen to step beyond political gridlock, to dismantle the illusions that divide us, and to reclaim our collective power to build a society where no one is left to sink.
Discover how we can transform despair into shared purpose, replacing fear with genuine security. Because when we choose to build together, no one drowns.
