Think Joe said on my tv news that 24million adults and 10 million children in America don't have enough to eat.
24million is basically the entire population of Australia not being able to enough basic food.
Not good enough from state and federal govts.
At least Biden has come out and said it.
Now he needs to set up special committees to solve the problem.

They used to report that 10,000 people died of starvation each year in America.  I assume that includes a good amount of homeless persons, plus malnutrition related deaths.  I always found that number rather shocking and unconscionable.  10,000 Americans dying from lack of food and nutrition per year, every year.

That figure dates back a few decades, likely more now that extreme capitalism and inequality has triumphed, not to mention population growth.

Quote
On January 6, Trump supporters gathered at a rally at Washington DC’s Ellipse Park, regaled by various figures from Trump world, including Donald Trump Jr. and Rudy Giuliani.

Directly following Giuliani’s speech, the organizers played a video. To a scholar of fascist propaganda, well-versed in the history of the National Socialist’s pioneering use of videos in political propaganda, it was clear, watching it, what dangers it portended.

The video is certainly meant to have a visceral appeal.
But breaking down the component parts is interesting.
A lot of encoded anti-semitic tropes.

Be interested to know who made that video.  The NYTimes calls that whole rally a White House production with Trump involved in details such as speakers, order, music, etc.  Which would include approving the short video, and likely placing it right after Rudy's call for actionable violence ("trial by combat")

Judging by the recent crap stained posts of Red and Kid, it was another bad bad day for the GOP.

Biden’s sensible approach to government is steadily flattening the blood flecked trolls on this forum.

This passes for critical thinking for the extreme left of the Democratic party.

It'll be the Jews who save the world. But they'll likely remain the enemy of most of its inhabitants.

It's fun to oversimplify.   Let me try:  Albert Einstein made nuclear power possible.   Without him,  all those nuke plants would have been coal,  CO2 would have shot up faster,  the Eastern seaboard would be submerged.   So Jews saved the world!   

Theodore Maiman,  inventor of the laser:  Jewish.   Someday we will blast an asteroid headed for Earth with a giant laser.   Jews save the world!

Israel’s vaccination programme covers all Israeli citizens over 16 but currently excludes the millions of Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and Hamas led Gaza Strip.  The Palestinian Authority hopes to receive vaccines through a WHO-led partnership with the humanitarian organisation known as Covax.



Opportunity wasted?

Imagine if Israel orchestrated the vaccination of those Palestinians.

One person dying from starvation in America is one too many.
This is USA we're talking about, not Africa.
All that foreign aid given away to other countries, money given to the UN for climate change etc, while people are starving to death at home. Very bad situation.

Say $2billion pa to stop the starving to death...and about $125billion pa to stop the 34 million from going hungry.
..all including admin costs.

The "ruling elite/elite" sipping on champagne, while the "second class citizens" and "others" sip on hunger/misery and death.
Sounds a lot like the Titanic.
