With SNAP benefits being cut off in the States I thought I would ask the community what y’all are doing to help. If you aren’t already fighting to feed yourself.

    America is well off. we had access to cheap goods and services, but agent orange and his tariffs stopped that.

    even before though, there was a wide chasm between wealth and equality in this country. all he’s managed to do is widen it further.

    personally, I’ve been impacted. normally I would see at least $200-$400 increase in my savings every month. I’m fairly well off and I can appreciate that. Now with inflation and costs rising, I’m seeing my savings shrink $100-200 a month and we’re just getting started. I’ve got enough savings to last me a couple years at this rate but should it increase further that expectation could turn to months, not years.
