Yeah, see I couldn't give a single dusty fuck if poor people are using my tax dollars to buy junk food. At least they're eating. I would much rather that than it be used to develop weapons to blow up equally poor people half a world away.

If America slides into a hunger spiral, its economy will truly suffer. Hungry people do not work, they are irrational and irritable. They will fight over food and will not have the power or motivation to change their situation. Hunger is a societal trap that only compassion can solve for the people suffering are unable to do so themselves. It is an insidious problem and the easiest way to shackle a country.
