    What a cruel society we live in, where "government ensures its citizens' most basic needs are met" is a newsworthy story.

      In a particularly dark twist, some of this shit only has purchase because of sinophobic racism.

      Rome, the high water mark for white civilization (not true, but idiots think so) had bread and circuses but these DASTARDLY CHINESE are etc etc. Absolute jackasses.

        Ancient Rome is about as foreign to American "civilization" as China is. The US is a living-experiment of the utopian fantasies of middle-class British people. The only connection to the classical world is a bunch of soft plantation owners LARPing like they were a paterfamilias.
