I think the common dreams imagery is almost comical but fuck these Trump folks are incompetent. They basically asked for it.
You can easily feed a person well and varied for $3-4 a head. Why, for fucks sake, would you phrase it as a 'piece of chicken'?
85% of the country has access to 6 or so ounces of chicken or pork, some carbs, and veggie side. You know a well balanced meal. It's going up, Address the negative news, but fuck why would you phrase it this way? Just morons. We'd be fully nazified by now with any compliance beyond grifting.
We're all probably lucky that the only thing they are good at is hate.
Trump's presidencies have been great for killing people. A shame he can't keel over right fucking now.
With RFK's new dietary guidelines, you're not supposed to eat carbs, which would normally be the main source of low-budget calories. 6 ounces of pork is only around 350 calories, so RFK's going to want you to get 3 times that, which is going to blow your $3 budget right there.
I get it, they are morons, but it's not really the food costs that are the issue, non processed food is still relatively cheap. This all a symptom of childcare and housing eating a bigger proportion of the budget.
You can still feed a family pretty cheap. You are probably more worse off of you're a dollar tree person but it's still a symptom of the big 2.
I feel dejavu about this pic. Like I can almost place my finger on it.
