How the richest country couldn't feed it's citizens during a plague is the tempest in the teapot.

What's scary & feared: food shortage, continued widespread pandemic, folks on UI not receiving enough, furloughed becomes perm, cost of living increases, income decreases, civil unrest. What's possible: UBI, universal healthcare, authentic leadership, universal civil rights. ?

Where the F are the relief checks!

Instead we will likely hear more about how that's up to the states, and be told that the federal government "can't be standing on street corners" passing out food.

You're exactly right, Marianne.

And now that I think about it, it's absurd, isn't it? Scarcity in this country is 100% artificial. 10,000 will experience scarcity so that one billionaire can have more.

It’s amazing to me how much better we want to be than China, and China as big as they are could figure this out. They are helping their people, why can’t we?

This is mighty America?! I’ve never been so ashamed of my country as right now. Trillions for banks, corporations, business owners. Nothing of value to the taxpayers but a lousy $1200 that hasn’t been dispersed. This is what 40 yrs of the GOP and its Dem allies has given us!

That ain't gonna happen. They don't give a damn.

There are elders who are alone and starving. A dark but realistic tale not yet told.
