*Phrase borrowed from @ecmclaughlin.bsky.social
The federal government has been shut down almost a month now. They couldn't get a funding bill passed. This one is personal to me, because at issue is subsidies for health insurance. Without them, my insurance premiums will double next year. Yeah, double. I got notification this week.
There are others whose premiums will go up way more than mine. And mine is not insignificant.
Inflation is ridiculous right now. Groceries have gotten way expensive. As has everything else. All while the current regime is kidnapping people and sending them to concentration camps. And sending troops into peaceful cities because the cities oppose the dictator.
They have money to do that, but they don't, apparently, have money to fund SNAP. So, as of November 1st, those who need those benefits to eat won't.
People are going to starve. Because the regime wants to give billionaires tax breaks.
But they have money to tear down the White House.
Make it make sense.
(It makes sense. They want poor people to die. I don't know what that gains them, though. If there are no poor people, who do they have to do their grunt work?)
People are getting so nasty (no, they've always been that way, just not so vocal) on social media to those who have posted concerns they won't have food. I'm glad to say, and I checked, that the free school meals will still be available. That's both breakfast and lunch here. A large percentage of students here depend on it. The district provides lunch during the summer too, ages 1-18. Then, those same nasty people (not like the "Nasty Woman" Trump insulted, she wasn't nasty at all!) say not to have kids if you can't feed them, at the same time saying women have to give birth if they can't afford it!
