They want our most vulnerable to eat processed crap food from billionaire-owned food manufacturers. Supporting the health and well-being of our children and poor is not a priority for Republicans. Supporting local farms, ranchers, and producers, forget it. They only support conglomerate farmers.
Well, humpty trumpty Dumpty bailed out the farmers before and he's going to have to bail them out again. If not, everybody's gonna go hungry. And protesting with their tractors and firearms in the streets😳
That's probably okay for many farmers since the people they'll need to harvest crops like fruit and tomatoes, which can't be picked by machines, won't be here to get the food ready for transport anyway. Just wait until the impact of THAT starts making headlines.
And MAGA evangelicals will not speak out against this, cuz, you know….”communism” “Marxism” “bootstraps” “the Lord helps those who help themselves” “this is what the church is for”…. They would adore Ayn Rand if they read anything besides the Left Behind series and their Facebook feed
Awesome - they can harm two distinct populations with one act. Increasing child hunger AND rural poverty at one go is a super efficient way to achieve their goals.
