American chauvinism eats at gringos brain to the point where they can’t help but rewrite their own history of well recorded structural racism and state negligence when it comes to natural disasters. Your Govt sacrifices communities to storms every year for capital exploitation.
You should care that kids, seniors & disabled people can eat. But even if you don’t, grocers have been swallowing tariff costs for months. SNAP keeps them afloat with billions in steady spending. Cut it and prices spike while we all fight for what’s left on the shelves.
The question isn’t why there are over 40 million Americans on SNAP. The question is why so many people who are gainfully employed make so little that they qualify for it.
You cannot understand what the United States is doing in the Caribbean and especially in Venezuela without knowing the history of the American empire’s obsession with resource extractive capitalism of Indigenous Brown & Black nations under the guise of benevolent interventionism.
