If the Economy’s “Strong” — Why Are 40% of Americans Struggling to Afford Food?
Anonymous Coward User ID: 77978852 Belgium 09/05/2019 12:00 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation	If the Economy’s “Strong” — Why Are 40% of Americans Struggling to Afford Food? Here’s a tiny fact. 40% of Americans struggle to afford food at this point. Wow. It’s the kind of statistic that’s somehow shocking and alarming — but not surprising. And yet just before reading that one, I read the New York Times saying something to the effect of: “a strong economy is the President’s greatest asset!” That’s a myth I read over and over again, every day, hear on CNN and MSNBC, recited by Ezra and Chris and Nate and the rest of the gang — “the economy’s booming!” Wait. What the? How can the economy be “strong” when 40% of people are struggling to eat? Isn’t that a little bit like the Hunger Games actually coming to life? Is that where America is now? What on earth?

IF that's true I strongly suspect it's because they refuse to give up their second car, netflix and dozens of other silly things they're addicted to and don't need. Priorities.
