  • 42 million Americans on food aid

    From Joseph Pereira@1:124/5016 to All on Monday, November 03, 2025 06:55:22

    The richest country, and self-proclaimed most beautiful country in the world, and 42 million people rely on food aid.

    The striking thing is: it's mainly people in Republican states who rely on it.

    How bad is your society when 12% of the population depends on food parcels that the government is supposed to provide?

    The food parcels are purchased from supermarkets, which are owned by the wealthy elite.

    The picture is becoming a little clearer.

    42 million people are fed by the wealthy elite who profit from it. And who pays for the food parcels? Yes, the middle class, because they pay the highest taxes.

    You'd be a socialist if you were to analyze American society like that.

    But why is the aid being suspended now?

    That has everything to do with the Epstein files.

    Yes.

    Congress can't convene because if they do, a Democrat has to be appointed. With that one Democrat, the members of Congress can demand that the Epstein files be made public.

    But...

    Congress is necessary to continue SNAP assistance.

    So the Republicans are blocking everything because they want to prevent the Epstein files from becoming public at all costs. Trump is a prominent presence in this, and the question is: can you keep someone who might then be exposed as a pedophile as president?

    They are quite afraid of this. So much fear, in fact, that they are letting 42 million people go hungry just to prevent the Epstein files from being made public.

    The hunger is supposed to convince the Democrats that the Epstein files are less important than the starving population. Only the Democrats should worry about the hunger. The Republicans have no problem with that. They are only protecting their president. The population doesn't bother them.

    California also has a good number of those clients because its too damn expensive to live here.

    I dont begrudge some of these people, because in places that have a single family home for almost 3k a month rent there is barely any money left over atfer rent and utilities.
