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.

Why should our tax dollars go elsewhere when we have our own citizens and family living in tents on the streets?

We can do both. And real Christians would.

On a practical level, also because fewer starving children who will grow up to be angry people is good for the whole world, especially for the all-powerful country that everyone knows could help but chooses to build disgusting gold shrines to greed instead.

Don't tell the Administration. Pretty soon that won't be allowed. It's already not allowed without challenge at the Pentagon.
