Remember your local food bank

I always do the roundup or pay for care packages at grocery store. Got to do more now. This will be brutal in Robeson county.

Trump carried that county with 63% of the vote. I would post this on the FAFO thread, but that would be cruel and in bad taste.

Part of me feels let 'we the people' feel the full impact of our current less than a perfect union and it's lack of promotion of the general welfare. Until the scales come off the eyes the billionaires (and newly minted trilionaires) will continue to laugh at how they have gotten the rubes to support them.

I agree. It is very frustrating to see "rubes " vote against their economic interests year after year. And part of me agrees that we should let them suffer the pain in hopes that they will have an epiphany and realize which party is committed to improving the lives of working and middle class folks.

That said, I do not want those pour souls to go hungry so I will continue my contributions to our local food bank... but with mixed feelings
 
delivered a couple of truckloads to a local food bank yesterday.....lots of very nice automobiles in line 3 deep

every system in this country is loaded with tons of corruption unfortunately

They’ll blame “liberal elites,” “waste and fraud,” “giving money to immigrants.” They won’t blame the GQP……certainly not in 2026 or 2028.
 
ok, now that I have learned that people are using SNAP to pay for hair weaves and getting their nails done, I am no longer contributing to my food bank:mad:

But 44% of SNAP recipients are white ? I don't think they are getting their nails and hair weaves, are they ? So I'm going to ask my food bank to just give food to white people because they deserve it, not those black and brown people. Otherwise, I'm not going to send them another dime even if it means children will go hungry.

Maybe some of these "very nice automobiles" are friends or family members giving someone without means a ride. Maybe it's somebody who just lost a good paying job and doesn't know how they're going to be able to afford food.

I hope you don't pull a muscle jumping to conclusions.

While I do understand this opinion, I have to fight it myself. @rodoheel made a really good point in a response last week that we are never going to get anywhere if we don't learn to move past this and take a big tent approach to sharing our opinions.

I've read so much on social media where some use actual bible verses to support how our country is treating immigrants, so nothing surprises me any longer.

It really pisses me off to see MAGAs blame the dems for stopping SNAP, especially those that call themselves Christians. They aren't doing a damn thing to actually address the problem. I feel my heart pound and my blood boil. Any response just starts some bullshit tit for tat; no one changes their mind. I finally realized a few weeks ago that the only way for me to find peace is to actually do what Jesus did and said, so I sent money to our soup kitchen. That is my act of rebellion.

At the food bank we manned, in some cases, 4 families would show up in 1 car.
