This is ridiculous.. I have been on strike for 6 to 8 weeks and I never went to food bank. Never got a handout!!!
I think there's a mentality that goes with working for government, living in a big government environment and like the people in New Orleans during Katrina, expecting someone to come and make everything normal for you.
Something as simple as watching for sales on survival food websites should not escape someone just because they live in an urban area. We have a six month supply of freeze dried food and a water filtering unit that all cost less than $250.00. All we need if everything stops is a water source.
