If so, does Goya get to take a tax deduction for handing out food they couldn't sell?

At Relief Center 1 after Hurricane Andrew we got a box truck full of board games…which got snapped up quick. This makes perfect sense once you got over the “what in the holy fuck” phase…our relief center was guarded by MPs and US Marshals, so mom and dad felt safe leaving the kids there while they were working to put the roof back on the house, and the kids needed something to do while the parents were away.

Paper towels and trucks of play dough up here in WNC.
We are hurting.
Actually keep all trumps the fuck outta here, the mud that’s feet deep is toxic enough.
No fucking photo ops using resources we need, like water, food and gas.

Just got net back an hour ago. Still no cells, all towers are down.
We got a long long way to go. So many are really hurting. I got wind damage I can repair. My daughters home has wind, water and down tree damage. I am chipping away at hers.
My biggest concern is her. Trauma nurse at Mission right at ground zero Asheville. Still no water, power or food there.
She did 4 straight 24 hours shifts during the storm.
When she finally got home for a short break, she walked in crying and curled into a ball in my arms.
Said she would rather do a month of Covid care than what they are facing.
So many horrific stories of lost lives, swept away children from parents, on and on.
We need to remember, Moses Mike and GQP were within hours of shutting the gov down as the storm was coming, demanded by Trump
Imagine the hell that would bring on top of the disaster.
So a trump, Lara, pushing boxes of chips for her profit can kiss my wet muddy ass.
Glad to be back here, so when I get a break I get to catch up.
Thank you President Biden for sending troops, and search and rescue teams from all over the country.
Of which would not be here with a shut down.
A big worry of mine, which may seem trivial, Is how many voters will have no way to vote in 30 plus days. Voting sites are gone, no power and no way to get around. And many at this point could care less right now with all the are facing.
Robinson did not bother to even vote for aid.
Cooper is everywhere, on point and really gives a damn.
But while I go to my daughter’s home, to work on Repairs, I see all the political signs for Trump.
The most popular is “Vote for the Undorn, Trump 2024”.and proudly by each one, Mark Robinson for Gov.
Sorry for the “Book” here, been away a while.
Missed ya’ll.

A can of baked beans, tuna, or canned chicken breast or even a jar of peanut butter and a box of cracker would at least have some nourishment.

You can scoop up food like canned chili with tortilla chips and eat it without silverware. Remember, some of these people’s silverware drawers have been forcibly relocated to the next county over.

Now that you brought that up; are they really there? In an actual disaster zone? Picture is cropped pretty close, they might not even be near the disaster.

Can't trust anything about them.

headed into one of the bad areas, the driver would know he might be in for an adventure. You wouldn't waste space on freakin' chips. You might throw some in because they don't weigh anything and you had the space but that's about it.

We know from Ivanka hawking them from the Oval Office that they make a line of canned goods suitable for sustaining life, so what the hell is this for a sick joke?

Trumps are disgusting.
