A survey released Wednesday by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York found higher levels of food insecurity this year than during the summer of 2020, when the coronavirus outbreak sparked double-digit unemployment.
The New York Fed periodically asks Americans whether they’re having to skip meals, having to rely on food donations or receiving federal assistance to buy groceries. Replies from the most recent survey, in February, show hunger is a more pervasive problem now than at any time in the last six years.
Could not agree more, we had an absolutely revolutionary moment where we could have locked a bunch of that stuff in place and started building an economy that actually works for people, but Biden and moderate Dems were all “We need to go back to ‘normal’! ‘Normal’ polls good!” because they have no fucking idea how politics works and spend time chasing trends instead of making them, and now we have no safety net and no Democratic president.
