    Almost half of Americans live paycheck-to-paycheck. A strike means they can’t feed or house their kids. Corporations have Americans by the balls and they know it.

      Nope. Soup kitchens are cheap and easy.

      US Americans are just too stupid to turn to their neighbor and work together

        Yeah, so is eating out of a dumpster. Jesus Christ. Have you ever even talked to a homeless person?

          I spent years eating dumpstered food when I lived in the US. You’re proving my point.

          Have you ever even volunteered with Food Not Bombs?

            Did you feed your kids out of dumpsters? And if so, were any of them autistic kids who would only be willing to eat things they approve of and starve otherwise? I hope not.

            But I’m guessing your suggestion is either force-feed them or let them starve.

            Also, do you know one of the reasons they take your kids away from you and put them in abusive foster care? Because you’re homeless.

            Basically your whole idea is advocating child abuse.

            Amazing how many people here think you should put the welfare of others over your own children.

              Its clear you’ve never dumpster dived before. Its usually wrapped in food grade containers. Completely sanitary. And good stuff, like super fancy expensive pastries.

              And food not bombs works with restaurants and groceries to get the food before they even put it in a dumpster, just before its thrown out.

              Seriously, please find your local chapter of Food Not Bombs and volunteer. You would learn a lot. Feeding people is not an issue in the US.

                My entire post was about child abuse and you just ignored it.

                So I guess we know how you feel about children suffering.
