Really? Rent prices have gone through the roof. Gas prices are up. Prices for cars and financing charges are way up. Utility prices are way up. Guess what? I got a small $1.00 an hour raise and that is not enough to overcome all the price increases that incurred for living. I clip coupons before I go grocery shopping. Most coupons no longer double. Often the food that is available with coupons are not on sale at the same the coupon is valid. Also, very few coupons are for food anymore. Or it is for food that no one in my family will eat.
A lot of the people I work with do not have the ability to bring lunch to work. One of my workers rarely takes a lunch break. He works 9 hour shifts. He can not afford to buy food. He used to work 2 jobs but is trying to live by working only one. Another of my workers eats Ramon Noodles everyday for lunch. She says it is all she can afford. Ramon noodles are not good for you and not intended to be eaten everyday. I have another coworker who has a very hard time between paydays. The day or two before payday, he eats very little or weird things for lunch. It is all he has. These people work full time and often overtime.
So, the country that could feed the World now can’t feed itself?
The World’s most efficient 100 year old supply chain can’t deliver ?
Suddenly, we have to eat bugs according to “big thinkers”?
Does any of this make sense?
The reason for not having food is because people are not working. If you work you have money to buy food!
