Yes, that would surprise me. Think tanks and governments both get their power and money by creating a "crisis."

Whenever the government declares "war" on something, whatever that something is won't likely improve, but government will have more control over the people.

How did the "War on Drugs" turn out? The "War on Terror" gave us Iraq, Afghanistan and the ironically-named Patriot Act.

The Department of Homeland Security sounds the name the old Soviet Union would give an agency.

And I circle right back to, it must be nice to have lived such a cushioned life that you have never encountered those who are food-insecure. It is not a manufactured crisis.

Food insecure? You’re literally in a safe space hugging stuffed animals and drawing with crayons right now, right?

Overall, I have been quite fortunate in my life.

Having said that, I've also been homeless (in the second half of 1994), and due to being on psychotropics due to so-called "mental illness", I "lost" over twenty productive years of my life.

I'm not disagreeing with the fact that millions of people are struggling right now; I'm merely challenging the notion that anyone in America is actual starving or near-starving in America. There is help available from both private and government sources.

I've said a gazillion times in this Forum that I think that both parties are awful. I just happen to think that the Republican Party is slightly less awfuller.

lagtight this unflushable banned poster einstein doesn’t understand that ‘food insecure’ means a person has to go to a food bank, not that they’re starving.

Einstein since you have your finger on the pulse of the poor what’s happened with food stamps since the pandemic. Tell us about mass malnutrition in America with something besides Wikipedia articles and 2p2 shorthand on your august 2021 account. How did the child tax credit effect food insecurity. Are you on your 15th account there are lots of questions

Tax dollars should be used to fight imperialistic wars, not feed hungry children.
Especially if they're brown.
