[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From ages 8- 15 or so, my daughter and I did volunteer service feeding others. One place we worked at, the person in charge said something I will never forget: if you judge a person as you hand them food, you are doing it wrong. When we feed others, we don't concern ourselves with anything except handing them the food. (Of course if they are a criminal on a nearby wanted poster we'd call 911, but you know what he meant! Saying this because I know how this forum works.)

A few years later, I found myself suddenly a broke single mother. My daughter and I went to the food bank for a few years. Later, after she left home, she and her husband, a kind man that experienced homelessness as a child, held several events to feed the hungry in their city.

If a system needs fixing, work on it, but judging everyone that is in it while you sit in your warm home with health insurance, a car and good food is not helping anyone, nor is cutting off food to folks while shaking a finger instead of tackling the true problems of this country. Punching down is incredibly easy as opposed to reaching out with compassion.

And yeh, I know how it feels to work 4 or 5 jobs and cook and clean and try and survive. It's been over a decade and my body is damaged from it, permanently. [/quote]

So you agree the Democrats should stop this nonsense and vote to get the government back to work, right?[/quote]

House passed CR funds the government only thru November 21. Then we’re right back in another shutdown. Speaker Johnson has kept the house shut so there is zero negotiating happening to figure out a longer term plan. [/quote]
