People are starving in the U.S. of A. as well. And healthcare is nearly inaccessible to them. And what they can get, some law makers want to take away or make even harder to get.
- lettergram 8y agoYou get free food in the US as well as Cuba if you are poor. I literally just bought 20lbs of pork for $20 and 20lbs of rice and 10lbs of beans for another $20. You can beg and easily make more than $20 a day. But even then the US gives out food coupons and there are tons of soup kitchens.
- JustSomeNobody 8y agoYou make it sound so easy. It really isn't. We foster, so we deal with "the system" daily. These poor parents, trying to get things back together are working a system that simply isn't always set up to help them. To get those coupons you speak of, they have to go stand in line during work hours. But they can't miss work because they'll not be able to pay rent. Do they eat? Or do they pay rent? This is an almost daily decision these people have to make. It's not just food coupons, it's meeting requirements[0] that they have to meet to get their family back together, it's all during normal business hours. And before anyone gets to the argument about why they're in that situation, it often is cyclical. Go read up on trauma and trauma informed care (you can start with ACE scores).
