[@dalekundtz4603]

Thank God for the workers at the food banks and the people who are behind the scenes filling the boxes and bags to be handed out. These folks have helped keep many families alive. It stinks that in this great country so many people have to go to food lines to put food on our table. Too bad the politicians in Washington don't know what that is like.

[@skarekrow101]

I wonder how they'll blame Obama for this?

[@tom11zz884]

They'll find a way..lol

[@mf1110]

No this is a pandemic, not Obama. Obama just doubled health insurance costs after promising to cut them by $2,500 per year per average family. He even more than doubled my daughter’s health insurance cost while she was going to college and making 30k waitressing at the same one. But hey he lied smoothly and articulately so it’s all good.

[@mattf.3124]

Are these the same people who voted for Trump? Why not ask them while you inquire if they can put food on their own table.

[@janeseamore1370]

1 in 4 children? That’s beyond devastating. How incredibly unfair

[@dalekundtz4603]

It is time the politicians in Washington found out what empty bellies were like. Find out what standing in food lines were like instead of going to $1000 dinners with the rich and famous. Time for them to find out not many have stock portfolios.

Most of my family and friends who I give Christmas presents to really don't need more stuff. They are all doing OK and have what they need to get through this pandemic without much disruption to their lives. This year they are all getting a donation to their local food bank in their name from me for Christmas. I think if we have enough money for gifts then we have enough to help our fellow Americans regardless of party or anything else. Many of our countrymen are hurting and their welfare is more important than some trinket or toy. Suggest you do the same and share the idea with family and friends.

“Trickled Down Economics”

[@mf1110]

No, that’s a free-market charity during a pandemic. Trickle-down economics is when you’re holding a smart phone which the closest thing in computing power costed $500,000 in 1980. Same goes for computers, TVs, cars, medicines etc. The reason it’s hard to get by is that average people are taxed 40% to 50% when you add up all the visible and hidden taxes.

Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples: “The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat. So you must be careful to do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach. They tie up heavy, cumbersome loads and put them on other people’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them. Everything they do is done for people to see: They make their phylacteries wide and the tassels on their garments long; they love the place of honor at banquets and the most important seats in the synagogues; they love to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces and to be called ‘Rabbi’ by others. “But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi,’ for you have one Teacher, and you are all brothers. And do not call anyone on earth ‘father,’ for you have one Father, and he is in heaven. Nor are you to be called instructors, for you have one Instructor, the Messiah. The greatest among you will be your servant. For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted". You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything, in Heaven above or in the Earth beneath, or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them, for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents up to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments. If my people who are called by my name, humble themselves and pray, AND TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS, I will hear from Heaven, will forgive their sins, and will heal their land. And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him. This, then, is how you should pray: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins. "Matthew 5-7 NIV Bible Gateway", we can use google search. These are the teachings, The Righteousness of our Lord Jesus Christ our God. REPENT, and start doing what is right. If you abide my teachings, you are really my disciples; then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. A time is coming and has now come, that the true worshipers will worship the Father in Spirit and Truth. God is Spirit, so his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and Truth; they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. In the New Heaven and New Earth, only Righteousness dwells. May the Spirit of our Lord Jesus Christ our God be with you all.

Really, it’s a term used a lot in public health.

[@CrystalBrightz]

The term food-insecure doesn't necessarily mean you have zero to eat. It's a bit broader than that, meaning you might have some food, but you don't know how long you can make it stretch, or you just plain don't know where your next meal is coming from.
