    The downvoted are cause they said “state run food pantries” and then talked about them being run by churches and not the state.

    We fucking know there is poverty here. Hence talking about bread lines in the first place.

      In the US? The church and the state are joined at the hip. Go look up the history of Mitt Romney. The man is an ordained Mormon Bishop while he lived in Boston.

      We organize our charitable relief at the retail end through church fronts. But the money and the materials routinely come from state coffers.
