there is not enough empathy in my body to sit here and explain to you that poor people deserve to eat as if you give a fuck. community reliance saves people. the US has the highest rate of mental illness BECAUSE we are continuously encouraged NEVER to rely on or support our community. most people on SNAP have a job, or are children or elderly and therefore CANT have one. Do you think grandma should go pickup a job at 90 because she'll starve if she doesn't??

i just don’t understand how you can see “we are one of the only countries in a world that doesn’t see food as a human right” and think that no one will work if they’re not actively worried about starving to death. all of the other top economies in the world support food being a human right.

70% of people who receive benefits in the US work full time. the reason why EBT, SNAP, etc exist is because people work full time, but the min wage is so low and cost of living is so high in some places that they still can't afford the basic necessities
