LA Times... my guess is “planted letters” like so many liberal hate crimes that are fabricated to fuel another cause. This sounds like the need for a living wage for people who refuse to get a head in life and want a 6 figure salary for flipping burgers.
Yep. Right behind you thinking the exact same thing. This story is contrived bullsh*t.

Bingo!
I live in one of the poorest counties in the nation. We distribute food for Thanksgiving and Christmas and choose families for gifts. We could hardly find anyone who needed the food for Thanksgiving and we had food running out our ears. I made the snarky comment, “So much food and so few hungry”.
There are so many freebies out there that the “poor” don’t need a thing.
The real poor children are those in drug and alcohol addicted families whose parents spend anything they can get on drugs.
Ten years ago I worked as a teacher’s aide (in-school suspension aide) and the only reason a child was hungry was because of neglect from the parent. Today, with so many losing unemployment benefits, it should be worse. My kids hated weekends and vacations.
I whole heartedly agree that this sounds like manufactured BS. I participated in a toy drive for the underprivlidged ONCE in the greater L.A. area, back when my kids were young. When I showed up with a bunch of stuffed animals, socks, and baseballs, I nearly got laughed out of the collection center. One of the kinder folks there pulled me aside, and showed me a few of the ‘wish lists’ that included ipods, video games, and expensive brand name basketball shoes. I wasn’t even buying that stuff for my own kids. I can’t imagine that the entitlement mentality has improved, in the interceding nine years.
