AFL-CIO Lawyer: ‘No One Here Is Going to a Food Bank’	In Jean-Paul Sartre’s play “No Exit“–famous for the line, “Hell is other people”– a group of people is trapped in a room with no windows, no mirrors and only one door, which is locked. As they realize they can’t escape, they become increasingly irritated with each other. The world of finance is like that right now.
