Sorry, I mis-read the original comment and thought they were telling about building additional pharmaceutical plants in the States.

This article has good coverage of some of the impacts of cutting SNAP, several of which aren't immediately obvious. Thank you for sharing it!

Now they're saying "violent US citizen-criminals" - but they run the state that determines whether you're a criminal and how violent your crimes was. Remember all those videos of non-resisting people being screened at by the cops "Stop resisting!; remember bills in Florida and other states to label trans people sex offenders - that's what we're up against. Any resistance or non-conformity can and likely will be punished.

"First they came for ... "

Please get her a rabies shot as soon as possible.
