Billionaires shouldn’t get to decide if folks have food or not…

Not saying them helping is a problem, but the fact that we’re in a position where they get to choose whether to help or not definitely is.

Also, who helped usher in this problem? gasp the billionaires! Now they get to look like saviors and "good guys" while helping with a problem they spent billions of dollars to get elected and the power to whisper in his ear...

They need to make sure the poorest members of the labor force have the bare minimum sustenance to be productive for them.
