It’s wild how casually we say “42 million people are on SNAP” like that’s just a normal statistic.
That’s 12% of the entire country—in the richest nation on earth—relying on government help just to eat.
That shouldn’t be a data point we shrug off.
That’s a national emergency.

It's very true that wages need to be fair and the cost of living shouldn't be artificially hiked- like rent- but considering that at least 25% of ANY Human population has some kind of disability, many are elders or children, 12% receiving food assistance is actually PAINFULLY low.

It gets crazier. Source in Maryland Gov Wes Moore's admin tells me they informed Trump officials that the ailing counties were in Appalachia, and the Trump people were surprised to hear this!
