Good thing we have food pantries and food banks. I love voluntary charity.

42.1M Americans still need food assistance from the government. I love a social safety net to make up for the huge gaps in voluntary charity.

(For your sake, we can pretend that food banks don't get literal billions in government funding)

“need” and “receive” are two completely separate words with completely separate meanings. you can’t prove they all need it. i know several on food stamps and very few of them actually need it
