Very stupid; I think you've been done for a very long time. You should kill yourself. You're a nobody. You'll always be a nobody. You're a moron. You will always be a moron. No one will miss you. No one would care. The worlds collective IQ would increase and it would save the valuable oxygen you waste with every breath.

I've just been watching TV reports of thousands of people lining up across the country for food parcel hand-outs, Texas, Pennsylvania and elsewhere. Those drivers interviewed stated that they have no other sources of food for their families.
Action on a vast scale is required NOW- or this isn't going to end well. It looks very much as if everybody is going to have to either receive charity or give it.

There's plenty of whole foods like bags of spinach, kale, romaine, zucchini, cheese, plain unflavored yogurt, nuts, seeds, turkeys, beef hearts, tuna, sardines, etc. so it's great for me.
Granted that most all of the junk packaged food is out like cereal, chips, candy, bread,
donuts and spaghetti-o-s. They'll learn how to eat the right things now maybe.
 
It is getting bad now. On the way to the country club I had to walk around three different toothpicks that were laying in the walkway passed out from hunger and lack of food. Looked like they had managed to crawl there before they finally succumbed . What a pain in the ass. I had to kick two of them off to the side just so I could get thru! The other one got chased off by security after I informed them what was going on. I tell ya,....the nerve of some people! :cool:

Hello jimmymccready,

The supply is there, but the money is not.

That's what I thought immediately after reading the OP, but after I read the linked article I can see the bigger problem. The food supply is still intact but it has taken a beating, and the problems are going to get worse before they get better.

I naively thought America has plenty of food, that the big challenge would be to get it to the people. That's true, but it is a bigger challenge than I naively thought. I saw it as a matter of repackaging food meant for restaurants and schools, and simply repackaging that for retail sale in grocery. Not so simple. Those are separate supply chains and they are not coordinated with one another. There is plenty of fresh food in the pipeline, but the pipes are not all connected. Food created and destined for restaurants has nowhere to go because they don't have it worked out to get that instead to packaging houses. And those packaging houses are already running at capacity anyway. We would need more packaging capacity to divert all the food from commercial to retail. Commercial food is now being dumped because it has nowhere to go, and would spoil. And at the same time, if that food could just make it to grocery shelves it would all get purchased.

I think what's going to have to happen is to get that food from the suppliers before they dump it, and get it to the food lines where people with no more income need it now.

And there is another big issue with farming and picking. Many of those workers are not able to travel their usual routes. Farmers are deciding right now if and what they should plant. With uncertain labor supply, and uncertain market demand, this will affect planting decisions.
