With unemployment low and wages rising, the struggle for basic necessities like food should be easing. But those on the front lines of feeding the hungry say they are seeing the opposite.

      Right, people definitly going hungry because the US spends 15% of it’s military budget on foreign aid. You’re some regular Einstein.

            Indeed but I’m not sure if they’re trolling or just retards

            When I first moved over it was cool here. Now it’s like Xitter/reddit all over again.

          Maybe you struggle to picture two things at once but I’m told with certainty that it is actually possible to do multiple things simultaneously.

          The US has more than enough to ensure both can happen. It just doesn’t because having money sitting in an account or invested in whatever makes number go up and number go up make happy.

      Ukrainians are actually dying to Russian rockets. Don’t know how you can claim some moral superiority

        Stop moralizing. Why do you think the same money going to Ukraine is tied to Israel and Taiwan? Think about it. What connects those three?

              You’re using the word “geriatric” wrong in this sentence

      That benefits the United States greatly and boosts the economy. Both conflicts are huge revenue generators and almost all the funding goes to American companies.

      That comes out to an average of $330 per person, if you assume an even distribution of taxes paid, which is completely false, so the real figure is substantially lower for the median person.
