Honestly, this might have to be the thing to do.  Blue states will come in to rescue their people. Let the red state MAGAs  learn some valuable lessons about the their voting history. Same with their insurance premiums.

The D’s can only try to save people from themselves for so long.  [/quote]

Giving people handouts is not saving people from themselves. We as Democrats should be putting community farms around neighborhoods, planting fruit trees in public parks, bringing back home ec, teaching children in schools how to plant a garden, teaching them how to cook, so the next generation isn’t as dependent on a failing system. Giving them money to buy ultra processed garbage food isn’t saving them from anything. [/quote]

I’m all for teaching life skills, including home ec, in schools. But if you really think these are solutions, you need to take a wider view. The REAL solution is forcing companies to pay a living wage to their employees, so that anyone employed full-time does not need to rely on food assistance. Yes, that would still leave full-time caregivers, the disabled, etc, but it’s the one thing that would go the farthest toward solving food insecurity.

All these supposed solutions, like gardens, just put more effort on people who are already stretched thin in terms of money and time. And when you focus on stuff like that, you end up fighting about what each family eats for dinner and how much effort it takes to cook. Which is exactly what the businesses who are raking in profits while underpaying their employees WANT you to stay focused on. [/quote]
