I heard @maddow say 45 million people on food stamps will now get $230/mo more because of the Covid bill & “it’s a really big deal.” No, what’s a really big deal -really bad deal -is that in our country of 330 million people there are 45 million who need food stamps to begin with

On and need are two different things. Nobody is getting anybody’s ass. Chill a bit.

When you make $30G an hour to spit out corporate bs you probably know little about actually hunger.

Rising food and energy prices just cancelled that out. Actually losing ground - only a tiny bit slower now.

Ultimately, you'll need to address the underlying issue (rampant poverty in the wealthiest nation in history) Before that, you'll need to treat the symptoms (food stamps and direct payments) But before any of that can happen, you'll need to recognize and admit there's an issue
