Does anyone think about what will occur if disabled/poor folks don’t have money for food? They’ll steal. That’s not a judgment on them. It’s a judgment on those who’d deny them the ability to eat.

Our adult disabled daughter cannot - I repeat CANNOT- work. She’s the only person I’ve ever known whom OVR (Office of vocational Rehab) said they couldn’t help. Anna is bright, but her autism, severe adhd, language processing disorder, schizoaffective disorder, anxiety, and a 30% lag in her right frontal lobe causing her executive functions to be nigh to nonexistent and her ability to process information to be severely affected. If she didn’t have us, she’d be homeless and a victim.

As I get older, I’m terrified for her. If we lose our 401k and our pension, which is a serious possibility, we’re screwed

The incoming administration wants to cut subsidies for public school breakfast and lunch programs, besides diverting tax dollars to private schools. These programs benefit children and the food supply chain workers, which includes farmers and all the folks that work the warehouses and transportation systems.
