First, I encourage everyone to be extra alert in the coming days and weeks if the Foodsatmp program remains unfunded due to the shutdown (which is what I understand will happen). There is a percentage, perhaps large, of FS recipients who will resort to crime to satisfy their basic need for food. Personally I hope I can help people out if they are in my path.
Anyway, the bigger point.... Walmart and other food corps will take a big hit. It could cause a ripple effect in the economy, as in Black Swan. In fact, I wonder how long before cabal handlers tell Dems to cave because the impact on large corps is too great.
But, maybe this is the match to light the fire... hunger causes humans to cross lines. Perhaps that is why the NG is deployed, too.
Anyway, just thinking about my Anon community and hoping you, your families and friends stay safe, and that we each discern the role we need to play day by day as this unfolds.
Godspeed.
I just hope Social Security disability isn't cut off.
I still haven't gotten mine for this month, and I wonder if the shutdown is responsible.
I know it will work out in the long run, but damn it, it hurts right now.
EDIT: Two hours after I posted this, the first of the two monthly checks came in. Thank God.
Dang! Hang in there! I wish GAW could allow personal contacts and even better... help us build a community of like-minded people who could support one another. I'm not rich, but I would help you and other Anons out as much as possible.
I got mine
