yup, I've been on a job hunt for over a year now and SNAP was keeping me fed, so it looks like I'll be surviving on saltines and noodles for the foreseeable future.
Definitely go check out a local food bank! They really do help!
Find a food bank. It's usually nothing fancy, but it'll set you up for a few days.
Looks like they’ve taken a page out of Australia’s conservative “Coalition” party. Who by the way were just thrown out of office in a humiliating landslide election (May 2025). The Australian Coalition even went further, using a poorly designed system to tell poor and marginalised people that they had to pay back benefits even if they never received them!
This is the sort of thing that may change some minds in red states really quickly
Not when most of them have been programmed to blame everything on the Democrats, regardless of facts.
