That might cause the violence in the streets that they are begging for.

The irony is that most welfare recipients tend to be republicans and /or from red states

actually starving in the streets is usually a cause for violent riots

Much like food banks are struggling for similar reasons and that is also intentional. They intend to murder the poor/working class. I was going to call it a war on them, but it will only be a war if people start fighting back.

Yep, the food bank we've been using recently has also seen a huge spike in people using their services. Lack of funding for SNAP will absolutely devastate food banks and their ability to help all the people that need assistance

yeah it's closer to being a genocide than a war. at the very least an intentional famine. cuz apparently you can't have a fascist regime without an intentional famine, it's just one of the many monstrous things they have literally all done.

according to the article, the government has 6 billion in contingency funds they could use but of course the administration won't do that. I wouldn't be surprised if Trump already raided the fund.

Trump was investigated by the DoJ! He needed that money and not the people who can't afford food!
Many Bothans died to bring you this post.
And food banks are already struggling

Nah, they do all the most important work, so they need to be kept around but made as miserable as (in)humanly possible.

They've said anyone who doesn't work shouldn't and won't have health insurance, so that sector is on their chopping block to be eliminated from existence.

They frame it as lazy 35 year old neets living in their parents' basement, but there's way more to it than that. There's the homeless, people with mental and social disorders who may not easily qualify for disability, etc. The magas want them all dead.
Maybe it's different in other states, but here in NY the EBT card you use for SNAP benefits are just debit cards which means you can't spend more than what you've already been given. There's also restrictions on what can be purchased with an EBT card too.

I don't really see a mass wave of people panic buying goods with their EBT cards.

I tell myself this every year but next spring I really ought to set up some kind of home vegetables garden. One neighbor already gives us extra cherry tomatoes in hers, and there are 2 houses on our street with chicken coops who we could potentially barter with.

Yeah shit is going to get bad if a large chunk of people suddenly can't afford to eat.

I imagine many of them will hit up food banks that aren't equipped to handle that volume, hence the national guard support

the inflation happened. maybe corporate greed too.

they used to charge 6$ on the promotion and they limited it to a select group of subs.

used to eat at subway at times. i don't do so anymore due to my health problems.

For a few years now it's been time to accept that fast food has shifted to being a convenience only option rather than a convenient and inexpensive (subjectively) option.

And even then, it's not always convenient with the turnaround time

This is just a hunch but I feel if bread and circuses are the only distractions from the fascism making the bread and the circuses impossible to obtain is probably not the smartest move

Overpriced fast food means it's better to spend a little more money for much better food at real restaurants.
