Great reporting. It takes 60 hour weeks to make it in the US right now. Anyone I know working less than 60 is subsisting not existing. I think the community fridge is an interesting concept but food costs is one of the areas people try to cut in their budget. EVERYONE is really on a fixed income. I don't know anyone that is making significantly more money when they need it. People probably need to migrate out of NY where there is different opportunity. We have constant food drives in my community and I am very empathetic and have some resources but even I get donor fatigue. I don't want to donate junk and I feel it sometimes donating a bag of groceries every month can be fatiguing. Great Reporting. Times are changing. Demographics are changing.

This issue is national. We started a food bank in front of the church with repurposed newspaper boxes. It’s a battle to keep it filled, but the surrounding community neighbors comes by and helps us refill it. Most people drop by and usually just take what they need for the day.. We now have a battle with unscrupulous people coming by, cleaning it out completely, to resell it all at the flea market.

[@pattiannepascual]

easily solved by only giving to those registered. Ask them exactly what they need to make dinner that night. If they are willing to show up every day, they likely really need the food. Giving only what they need ensures plenty of food for others. In NJ, pantry,programs and churches give out already prepared boxes of food and lots of it, every month.I find out the date food was given out. You would be shocked what I find on the curb on trash day, usually in the same boxes they got it in, of things they don't like, and apparently did not need. The places keep giving Muslims boxes that contain pork products. Not long ago, I found 2 unopened cases of Vienna sausage cans in front of one house. I filled a shopping cart with all the items these "poor,needy" people threw out and used it to cook meals for 2 homeless men I feed and the rest goes to 3 seniors I help whose social security isn't enough for them to buy food after paying bills. I won't get into the corruption going on in all these non profits.

[@fatherbewithme]

What I would do (& you guys may want to do it as well) is make a rule that state identification is mandatory for food & also individuals who can show proof that they've been in the United States for atleast 5 years plus gets food first & foremost then Id deal with everyone else!

Can't take care of your citizens when the priority is going towards the migrants. I want to help everyone too but at some point the NYC politicians have to choose who they represent, the tax paying citizens or the "asylum" seeking people that unfortunately have been given the wrong idea of what the city will do for them. I've been keeping an eye on this whole asylum thing since it started and one thing that I've noticed is that a lot of these people that are coming across the border aren't being forced to go to Chicago and New York and Boston in La they want to go there because of the generous social welfare programs in those cities. If you talk to the mayor Adams or Mayor Johnson though they'll say that it's a horrible right-wing conspiracy to overthrow these cities when in reality they are the ones to blame they are the ones that said they are sanctuary cities. These kind of catchphrases have consequences . You guys are now living through those. I hope the situation will get better in NYC cuz at this point you have insane rent and everyday prices coupled with high crime and social unrest and I can't see a reason to visit let alone live in NYC and that sucks.

But she is so indecisive she doesn't know. She doesn't want to leave her house, knowing that the rent and living in NYC will eat away at your SS, pension and retirement. She's still working at 70. All the while raising a YA who can't afford to leave home and is still in college. And while I'm in NJ, I question what choices do I have.

The solution to the asylees needs to come from the federal government by way of a more efficient processing regime. I found out the other day that there are fewer than 100 immigration judges in the ENTIRE COUNTRY. That's why it takes years for people's claims to be processed. I can't understand why congressional republicans want more money for the border patrol when that's not where the bottleneck is at all. When someone is arrested by border patrol agents, all they have to do is claim asylum and they'll be released into the general population while their claim is processed, which takes years.

You DO realize that the history behind the U.S. version of Thanksgiving is modeled on a 1621 harvest feast shared by the English Pilgrims and the Wampanoag people. The Pilgrims left England under alleged persecution and took over a land that was not theirs, as it belong to the natives living here. They hunted and took fowl that did not belong to them, but the Wampanoag tribe allowed them to do so without much incident. In other words, they shared what they had understanding that people were starving and eeking out what living they could. The event sealed a treaty between the two groups that lasted until King Philip’s War (1675-76). So, literally speaking, you are showing dramatic anger about a custom that was not started by any Americans, it was a kind gesture extended by the original folks of this country.

School enrollment was declining, but now classrooms are filling up so that the City can seek money for education...while the quality of the education is going down. NYC was on a downward trajectory before they showed up, but the outsized spending with a declining tax base just ensures that things will get worse before they get better...and that's without factoring the economic impact of a major hurricane in the next few years.

@@nataliealex597 Just to be clear, I don't think giving people food who need it is a bad idea. My concern was the point at 6:35 where Cash says, "If you want to donate, just walk up and put something in." That's why I said if something like this is not policed (i.e. not monitored by someone responsible for what's put into it), then there's a potential danger of someone tampering with food they put in. I'm not saying something like that couldn't happen at a food pantry where food is donated, but at least you have people checking the food they accept for others. Now if Cash was wrong and all food donated to the fridge has to be checked first, then that's obviously a better scenario. Based on Cash's tour of fridges in the area, it sounds like a losing battle, but if even one child is helped as a result, then your efforts as a volunteer are worth it.

Plus white tax paying suckers like me don't feel obligated to give anything to charity since government spends so much on lazy ones.

Why is NYC giving billionaires asylum from paying property taxes?

[@ConnieA1262]

@@marietakilpatrick1027 Are you sure they do not pay property taxes? That is a lie.

[@bobsteve4812]

Yeah before the gov took on that role, America had a far higher poverty rate. Charities and community keep some of the poor from starving but they don’t have anywhere near the resources the gov does. The issue is the gov has done a shit job of it for a lot of complex reasons

Open borders create more needy people. The government incentives keep legal citizens in poverty. They decide to not work as they are getting enough to live to not work or work for a higher wage in fear of losing benefits. The more you give away the more you will have people asking for more. Maybe some greed in there but it is mainly bad policies and economics for the sake of unrealistic ideologies.

I guess they could feed everyone paper but I'm not sure of the nutritional value. Money has no real value, it just represents things with value like food and housing. If you implement green policy that will reduce resource production and then you increase the population through open borders its not going to matter how much money you have if there is no food.

The rich have the money. Not anyone else though.

A community fridge that is forced to be vegan? what in the dystopian shit is going on here?

That was my first reaction too but when you think about it spoiled fruit is easy to spot, spoiled hot dogs or fish sticks not so much.

Ask yourself what would you do if you had no money and were hungry? Be prepared as the worst is yet to come. Thanks Joe.
