I am so lost as to your message here, I’m sorry. Best guess response:

I’m well aware of the rising cost of food, and that people increasingly can’t afford it. But desperate people do desperate things, and food insecurity is about as desperate as humans can get. People find the money, usually by reprioritizing other critical needs. This is, of course, fucking insane that they have to do that. But because they are able to do that desperate reprioritizing they can continue to be bled dry by the corporations setting the prices. I’m not disagreeing about the cause or half measures, just that that quote is being used so out of context it’s straying into the territory of intentional deception.

That line is taking completely out of context. The full quote, pasted elsewhere in this thread, is about how people can pay these price hikes, technically, but it’s rage inducing that they keep having to, and we need to address this kind of corporate greed.

Guardianships are very often for severe physical disabilities with no intellectual imparement. Those people can’t vote either.

Compared to historical treatment of africa, no argument china is far better. Compared to modern treatment, nah they’re just the same as the rest of us bastards.
