Are bread riots coming to America?
- philips 6y agoIt is an anecdote but the NPR's Indicator did a recent interview of a woman who had been relying on the supplemental unemployment via CARES: https://www.npr.org/2020/08/13/902342278/when-600-goes-away https://www.npr.org/2020/08/13/902342278/when-600-goes-away I think it was important journalism to hear an individual voice that is overwhelmed by a seemingly hopeless situation where the economic engines of their work is suddenly and completely stopped and then the lifeline that was helping them get through is removed as well.

Can we stop with the divisive bullshit, already? It's Congress, not just the Republicunts. Demoncrats are to blame, too.

- happytoexplain 6y agoAre you willfully omitting the "bread" part for a reason? It's not like the author said "America hasn't experienced any riots lately".
