Covid-era benefits are coming to an end. For those receiving SNAP benefits for food assistance, this means at least $95 less per month. VICE News visits one food pantry in Kentucky that has seen mile long lines for donations since benefits were cut.

Fuck Joe Brandon.

    Thanks, will watch when I can.

    This is the kind of thing to burst the bubble of American Exceptionalism that all the brainwashed nationalists need so desperately to see.

    They know it , often on a visceral level too. But like with so much real news dissemination these stories are buried . Which has the effect on the average American of not believing something is valid, until they see it on tv or a video.

    More of these kinds of reports, but also tying it to the corrosive economic system of capitalism as the culprit, will be the thing that gets the 99% united against this system.

      It seems like conservatives have realized the US isn't what it once was for a while. I remember a lot of talk about America's downfall during the 2016 election and why Trump was needed. Problem was that the only arguments I heard for that were immigrants brining in foreign cultures that eroded American culture and that Americans don't work like they used to. All being said by people that had the money to never work retail and go right into an office after graduation.

        Fashy types always want to return to a mythical era based on a very non-mythical ability to subjugate other people.

        Difference between liberals, fascists, and communists in a nutshell.

        • Liberals refuse to acknowledge the symptoms.
        • Fascists acknowledge the symptoms but, like an autoimmune disease, attack and destroy the body itself.
        • Communists acknowledge the symptoms and correctly diagnose the disease.
