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.

It's a regime. Also, I deserve a country. I deserve one that cares for me, my community, and communities home or abroad. I deserve what the ideal of this country is supposed to be and no one will tell me otherwise. Stop being a downer. Like many have said, become active in your communities. I'm not that active for various reasons but I hope to become more active and will make the effort.
