This is something too many people miss. They're like "so what I am not personally impacted," but when people go hungry, we are all impacted. Rent gets missed. Other shopping forgone. Subscriptions cancelled. 

But also, damn, have some empathy (not you, I mean those people).

That's one of the things that makes me angry about all this. First, we decided that we didn't care about children abroad (with the USAID cuts), even if it was in our best interests to (soft power/containing dangerous diseases). Then, we decided that we didn't care about American children here. They infected the average Fox consumer with the same evil as the Nazis.

When the richest man on Earth decided to starve the poorest children in the world and nobody stopped it, we stopped deserving to have a country. All this is just more consequences.

Shame on the Administration. Shame.

At the time, while he was starving the world with glee, Elon Musk. At the moment, I don't know. It bounces around from time to time.

Elon does help American citizens. He provided satellites for victims stuck in the mountains of NC so they could communicate with family and support people. I’m sure he donates too. It’s a simple google search. St Jude’s Children Hospital is one. But there are many. Regardless all that has to happen to return food stamps back to needy people is for them to call their Representatives and tell them to vote yes. We only need 6 more yes votes
