In reply to the discussion: Texas National Guard troops forced to go to food banks for help amid paycheck delays [View all]jtuck004
(15,882 posts)8. I bet the people coming across would share, if they have anything. Most are very nice, just scared.

Must be tough, what with a job and a home and a regular paycheck and people to support you in protecting us, at least lately, from children, all of which you can most likely return to, with open arms.
As opposed to living in a duplex with 17 other people, not asking where the can of pickles they had for dinner came from, I mean, hoping that every car door slamming isn't a trip to jail just for trying to live.
If they give you food at the food bank, take some extra out there with you. Especially water. The people you are supposedly trying to protect us from would appreciate it. If your humanity is worth anything, I mean.
