Today is rent day for millions of Americans & that’s not an April fool’s joke. Without more than a $1200 one time payment coming in, millions don’t know how they’re going to pay the rent & also eat. There were already 40m hungry people in the US. Food shortages are rushing at us

Old people who live alone, who depend on others shopping for them who aren’t now available to do so. Multiply that scenario by millions & that’s what we’re dealing with. Our political leaders should be talking about this. It’s not just the virus: there’s much attendant suffering.

Millions of old people w/ caretakers not coming in, some barely able to move, many looking at a loaf of bread & wondering how long it will last. There are many heroes showing up to take care of people & we all have to be among them. Govt now at a fraction of proper response level

And the already hungry are going hungrier - The world is a shit show right now, I get it. And everyone is affected and struggling. But the homeless population have been walking in these shoes for years and years. Now we're just gonna let them starve to death? Not me, are you?

And the truly poor didn’t file taxes and don’t even get $1200.

what are you doing to help besides sowing seeds of hate and devisiveness? are you paying someone else's rent or buying their food? no. you are promoting unrest and violence. give it up. people paid attention to your rantings. they did not choose you. or your agendas.
