Read the article on this video > https://news.ntv.co.jp/category/inter... ◇ It all started with a comment made by a comedian who supports Trump. Trump-supporting comedian (27th) "There's an island of garbage floating in the middle of the ocean, I think it's Puerto Rico." Puerto Rican residents rebelled against this. In response, President Biden made a comment that could be taken as calling Trump supporters garbage, which caused a stir, and now it's Trump... Republican candidate Trump (30th) "Biden and the others call us garbage, but I call you the heart and soul of America." He criticized both Biden and Harris for being unfit to be president. Harris, who was held back by Biden's remarks... Democratic candidate Vice President Harris (30th) "He (Biden) made his opinion clear," he said, expressing a negative attitude towards the remarks. The US presidential election is approaching next week as both camps exchange accusations. The biggest issue is the economy. San Francisco, California. It is a popular tourist destination for Japanese people, but in one block in the center of the city... Reporter: "This corner around here is all homeless." There were many street dwellers, or homeless people. Homeless: "A lot of things happened at once... I've been homeless ever since, and I've been doing drugs every day." Prices of all things have risen in the United States, including rent, food, and gasoline. California, where rent is particularly high, is home to about 30% of the homeless in the United States. In pharmacies in San Francisco, many products are displayed in locked cases. This is to prevent shoplifting. Pharmacy employee: "Shoplifting happens about three times a day. That's why I keep my door locked." Income disparity continues to grow in the United States, and the number of people who cannot make ends meet is increasing. Reporter: "There's a big camper parked on the right side of this road." There are also people who are forced to leave their homes even though they work every day. A 55-year-old man has been living in a camper for the past 12 years. The car is packed with furniture and clothes, but there is no electricity or air conditioning. A man (55) who lives in a camper: "I keep out the cold with warm blankets, and when it's too hot I go outside. It's more like surviving than living here. It's tough." A truck driver's day starts at 2 a.m. He works eight hours a day, starting at 3 a.m., six days a week, and earns about $5,000 a month, or about 750,000 yen in Japanese yen. Even so, he says that his take-home pay of just under 600,000 yen after taxes is not enough to rent an apartment and live there. A man living in a camper van said, "I have to work to survive. I never thought I'd be living like this. I thought I could live in an apartment for less." ◇ On the economic issues at stake, both candidates said... Democratic candidate: Vice President Harris: "I will build an economy that creates opportunities to build wealth and start businesses." Republican candidate: Former President Trump: "I will end inflation and bring back the American Dream." Which voice will reach the people suffering from economic inequality?
