What am I missing? Reported on CBS Morning News, so many restaurant owners feeding the poor.

Doing what they can for their workers too, keeping them on their health insurance plans. Reduced the prices on their menus. Arranging curb side pick up etc. Providing free food for shelters and most especially feeding children.

WHERE IS OUR ARMY, NAVY, AIR FORCE able bodies????? I don't understand, are they helping distribute food instead of people waiting in long lines across the country for a free bag of food! Did I miss where that is happening?

I fucking despise Trump and the Republican Party

The long and I do mean LONG lines for a free bag of food or they get a $30 gift card for the grocery store during a pandemic.

I cried, I can't take watching it.
