Millions of Americans turned to food banks the last time Donald was in office.

If you don't want this to keep happening, you know what to do.

More FAFO.

Trump was a known quantity personally and the policies of this administration were laid out in excruciating detail in a hundreds of pages long document that was highlighted during the campaign.

Yet people still voted for him.

Now they're whining that they're getting what they voted for.

Well, tough s*&^. Find those bootstraps and start pulling.

In the middle of this terrible war initiated by the Kremlin, one wonders if the Russian or Ukrainian militaries are having trouble feeding their families like peacetime American soldiers under Dummkopf Trumpf.

If they don't get their paychecks there will be panic. There's already tremendous concern. Enough to force some into food lines.

Are banks and credit cards and utilities going to forgive debts and will mortgage companies rework loans to tack payments due onto the back of loans again?

The 15th will be a significant turning point in the economy if paychecks don't arrive on time. Many (most) of these folks live paycheck to paycheck.

Black Unemployment Is Surging Again

Joblessness for Black workers is rising again, two years after reaching a record low. It's a troubling indicator: Joblessness often spikes higher for historically marginalized groups during economic downturns, and takes longer to fall,"
