Many conservatives are probably fine with an economic meltdown as long as the people they hate (brown people, immigrants, gays, non-Christians) suffer. They are even willing to suffer themselves as long as they can make the people they hate suffer.
You might be surprised who is financially assisting these churches including your own. My mom's church cooked and delivered for . . . Meals on Wheels. Even with volunteer labor, these programs cost money. But if they're doing it on their own, good for them!

I just noticed the bold when T-310 quoted it. Seriously, do you believe everything you hear "on the street"? USDA (that's Department of AGRICULTURE for those of you who don't believe SNAP is part of the farm program) says through February. https://www.cnbc.com/2019/01/09/usda...-shutdown.html

I guess so my man. Never been to one or even a 2 bit fancy house.
If you peeps want to worry about peeps eating then just think of the money blown on the last 3 failed wars under Bush 1 and 2. That could have built a million MC D's and fed millions of peeps.

There is no law that says you can't assume what gender someone is.
