produce should be a food. Not a source of income. There are no good grocers unless they are selling at a loss in order to help those who are hungry

There are about a hundred lurking teenagers who think you just made a pretty good point.

We just give people snap if they need it. Food security is something America is good on because we convinced farmers they benefit from it

But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.

Anyway it's more obvious how grocery stores add value to the process of getting food than landlords: housing

All fruits and veggies should be free. A tree doesn't cost money to grow. God provides rain. All hail and praise be to Allah.

That is surprising... the "owning a house requires a huge upfront investment" seems fairly apparent, and gets harped on whenever the the topic comes up

Otoh it is pretty easy for me to go grab lunch at the farmers market

Why would better housing assistance preclude the landlord dynamic?

but I feel your example is a great demonstration of my point. I'm not thinking about financing or risk when I come home from work but I can see that I'm not going to an apple orchard, a pig farm, etc when I go to Walmart.

I didn't say that landlords don't add value, just that it's not visible.

I'm explaining why we see people complain about one thing and not another.

Eh, when I was homeless I found getting food to be the least of my concerns, between churches, pantries, and EBT. I would go to the church downtown where I used to volunteer and have probably a better meal than I normally have now, lol.

Allah also provides gas for the truck drivers to bring the food to the store.

Well, yeah, couldnt have porn without humans or the materials used to build cameras, etc. Idk if God approves of porn or not. Or if there is a God.
