there is a commercial of a lady/girl whining about not having food. she weighed 250lbs and had purple hair.
food is clearly not at issue. and get rid of your pink hair, get a job, dont have kids you cant afford.
You assumed all that from "a commercial"?
And is it pink hair, or purple? Seems like you weren't paying attention, so the credibility in the "details" you present is suspect. I'm wondering if there is any such commercial after all ...
With the holidays nearing, miles-long food lines are a hint at how hunger in America could soon surpass the peak of the 2007 recession.
Early one morning in mid-November, Trisha Cunningham, the president of North Texas Food Bank, arrived at a sprawling fairground in southern Dallas that hosts the annual Texas State Fair. Four lines of cars snaked for miles, from the entrance toward the skyscrapers downtown. Some of the drivers had arrived the night before and slept in their cars, waiting for a box of food that would help get them through Thanksgiving.
By the end of this year, more than 50 million people will experience food insecurity, according to Feeding America, the country’s largest hunger-relief organization. That’s one in six Americans and one in four children—nearly a 50 percent increase from 2019. A Northwestern University study in June found that food needs had doubled nationally, and tripled for households with children. The pandemic has laid bare how many people are one paycheck or medical bill away from hunger.
So it would happen under Biden's* watch. We'll remember this.

Thanks, M2R. This is a good time, at Thanksgiving, to think about this. For the first time, I'm going to be donating to a non-profit that feeds the needy.
This is, of course, a result of covid, but it's also something that a good president could have mitigated.
all I see are help wanted signs.....there's a disconnect alright....
Right now. Talk to me again when things get worse. Also where do you see these signs and are they with retail, schools and fast food? I only see a handful for anything else.
The heart-wringing liberals have been telling us for years that 1/6 of the American people are already going hungry, and have been for years. So now they're telling us that it's no worse now than they have been?

One sixth is about 56m Americans. Right bow we expect at least 50m Americans to have issues bringing food to the table daily. All we need is roughly 8-10m more Americans and it is what is being said.

Why won't Nancy trim the pork from the Dems bill, that has nothing to do with Covid?
McConnell offered a skinny bill, though it didn't include the $1200 checks which Dems could have pushed to include, but Nancy won't do a skinny bill.

Trump wanted to pass a stimulus bill sending money to the people, but Pelosi kept demanding that it also included bailouts for liberal, mismanaged cities so they could continue to pay their inflated pensions. There are many retired CA public “servants” getting $200,000 a year in pensions! Pelosi would not give in, and people are hungry as a result.
