I mean, immediately.

Like a viper.

Struck, yeah, the core of my thought process.

Yeah, so if you're on Skeeter, then you can find the thread I made.

I'll link it in the show notes with food banks that are looking for donations.

And you can also use that to find a food bank in your area if you're interested in that.

But yeah, this is a serious problem.

This is the...

should be the biggest news story i'm thinking particularly of those folks in alaska right who found themselves as climate refugees due to this storm right which flooded their villages and now not only facing the loss of their villages and their homes but also all their cashed food these are people who often would have hunted or fished or relied on right um storing food for the winter and now finding themselves unable to access yeah federal benefits

Doing the thing that, like, there's a representative, Clay Higgins of Louisiana, made a tweet today blaming SNAP recipients for not stockpiling a month's worth of food.

What the fuck?

Does he understand how this works?

He said, try to get your head wrapped around how many pantries you can stock with $4,200, which is what people get on average per year, he says, with SNAP benefits.

in properly shopped groceries.

Any American who's been receiving $4,200 per year of free groceries and does not have at least one month of grocery stock should never again receive SNAP because, wow, stop smoking crack.

That's inhumane.

Dealing with the shit that they talk about is almost pointless because they're all liars.

Yeah, yeah.

Like what you said, people are on SNAP for a wide variety of reasons.

They're largely employed.
