Whenever people complain about the number of people receiving food stamps...

3. When They Complain About Fake Nails ...

... and cars, etc., I point out that a 2022 DoD report found that 286,000 service members faced food insecurity in 2020 and 2021, with 14% reporting they had used government food assistance programs in the past year. Not exactly the deadbeat demographic are they? When you add in the people working multiple jobs and still needing assistance, who knows what the total numbers are? I was on food stamps once when my ex wouldn't pay child support. And I had a job.

I shudder to think what's going to happen in November. We donate to Harvesters and take groceries to our neighborhood food bank. I know it's a drop in the bucket and there are going to be people in real trouble.
