Because my wife has tried to send them countless recipes to use the pounds of ground beef and ground Buffalo they get monthly. They give the Buffalo away. My wife has offered to spend hours with them to show them recipes and how to cook and meal prep.

They get regular USDA food bank shite AND Indian food bank stuff from the tribe. And lots of it gets wasted. The wife won't cook.

If you're an Indian with a tribal card in Oklahoma and you're poor, you get so much food it would make your head spin. And lots goes to waste.

You're supposed to be better than this strawman. I already provided the definition of "regular." Needing a food bank is not "regular." The post where you mentioned "subhuman" is projection.

I’d rather food banks in NC than the laundering front in the Ukraine or illegals in CA or NY.


So, as long as the thieves lie to you in an acceptable way, it's okay?

Fair enough. I was making more of a societal statement than one attributed to you. We are conditioned to detest the poor in this country.

Regular people may need a food bank when exceptional situations arise: an unforeseen medical emergency, unexpected bill, etc etc. it’s normal to need some sort of help from time to time. Not everyone has credit cards.

Good. If you ever get laid off, they should keep your unemployment checks and give them to the company who laid you off. I'm glad you agree with that.

These are not necessarily programs to actually feed people, but federal welfare for big ag.

Feeding people is a way to tie it up in a pretty bow. Same with ethanol subsidies.

You simply cannot be more stupid than you are

At least you are not alone

Why is your ability to reason so messed up? What happened?

She said the $2 million in federal funds the nonprofit would have received would go directly to farmers for the purchase of fresh food that’s then distributed across the 34 counties they serve.


So it’s a farm subsidy program.

Go figure the angle from a public radio source.

Elon has said that part of the cutting process involved cutting too deep in some places. This fu ding can be restored if it's determined to be needed. It's part of the plan.

It is not. Those arguing differently are just making more emotional arguments.

I’ve never claimed to be a democrat. I’ve repeatedly and consistently maintained that republicans and democrats are the same. Neither cares about anyone else.
