It's reassuring to be reminded that every child in America must justify their existence or starve to death.

- margalabargala 1y agoOkay, that's too far. That's not true at all. Children in America do not starve to death. There is no famine, economically manmade or otherwise. This is America. We will happily allow and encourage your child to go into arbitrary amounts of debt from a young age to be fed at school.
- antifa 1y agoThere is definitely a type of famine going on in the US right now, 40 million are struggling with food insecurity. There is also a crises of healthy food being unaffordable, so people are essentially eating 2x their daily calories while getting 0.5x their daily nutrients. Then there are multiple political decisions that have already been made this year that will result in various forms of crop loss (migrants scared to show up at work) and disease outbreak (RFKJr's raw milk). The results of which are likely to impact food prices. The people who are hit hardest by this will already have been hit the hardest by greedflation in rent.
- margalabargala 1y agoWords have meanings and it cheapens them to use them outside those meanings. Either there is no famine in America, or I experienced famine in America yesterday when I was hungry because we were busy and had a late dinner. I agree with everything you said except the use of the word "famine".
