Soaring inflation all brought to you by the current Dimocrat administration in office today starting with Handsy ‘Pedo’ Joe.
Long past time for food banks to require folks to actually be needy. We drive an older vehicle, live in modest means and pay for our own food. Ever look at what’s in those food lines? Unfortunately we can’t trust people when it comes to free giveaways anymore.
I’d like to see a breakdown of who food banks are feeding. I suspect that there are the actual, American needy, a small percentage, and the ‘if you build it they will come’ needy.
Beef is up $2 lb and more here in Upstate NY. I’m buying anything on sale and freezing it. I like stews, meatloaf etc etc
I read an article by an intelligence analyst that posited the Arab Spring was brought on, not by a wave of political liberalization, but by a sudden ten percent spike in the food prices paid by Muslim citizens. The bulk of these countries are sitting on the edge of starvation. A sudden change in food or energy prices causes starvation. Starvation causes riots and governments fall. His argument, filled with facts and charts, was persuasive.
To this day the media, either from ignorance or narrative control, maintains that the Arab Spring was a political awakening. What they probably fail to realize is that politics and ideology is not on the minds of the average citizen. Average citizens couldn’t care less what’s trending in the artificial virtual worlds the media inhabits. They live in the real world with real needs and real hunger.
As food prices soar, look for, as an example, Iran to either scale back its regional ambitions to subsidize food, or to collapse. The entire Middle East will either scale back their aggression, or destabilize.
folks,
we live(d) in a nice world during our lifetime, but once the food-distribution chain gets cut, then all hell will break loose faster then a hillary email scrub.
All bets are off at that point.
If the Chinks can screw with our supply chain just enough, they can bring our entire country down within a month and they wont have to fire a single shot.
remember the Rugby team plane crash in the Andes back in the 70’s? normal, civilized people who were eating human flesh within a week of the crash.......
No wonder liberals hate God.
Chicago - The Greater Chicago Food Depository paid their five highest earners: CEO Katherine Maehr ($355,615), VP of Development Jill Zimmerman ($265,483), CFO Dennis James ($263,663), CMO Joan Chow ($242,817), and VP of Community Impact Nicole Robinson ($241,520), The organization had revenues of $122.6 million last year and 75.1% of revenues went to relief programs.
And that is just the 5 highest earners. Poverty and Charity seem like very lucrative businesses to be in.
My feminazi sis-in-law hits the foodbank regularly. She’s poor, can’t seem to work well with others, a lifetime of stupid decisions, a bitch, super-stupid lib, lived in Austrailia for 25 years, loves socialism. A Strident virago. Is 72 and is preoccupied with getting laid...
Maybe she’ll starve and die. One can only hope.
We’re in our own growing season right now, a lot of fruits have already come in with more to come. We had this drill already, Carter administration, canning, universal casserole recipes, lots of home knitwear.
I worked right next to a food band/ food give away outlet. There were always long lines of cars to get in.
Amazing how many late-model - and even luxury - cars there were in line (as I passed by in my 14-year old Toyota).
People have no idea how food is grown or how it gets distributed. And the first domino to fall will be the inner-city hellholes because delivery drivers will NOT deliver food once the bottom falls out.

Good. food needs should be handled locally by churches and local communities helping directly.
I wanted to help at one one time but once i realized it’s just another government syphon of tax dollars and much goes to illegals and people not truly in need. I chose to find other ways to help persons directly.
