    $700 to feed my family, gone.

    steak and shrimp, amirite?

    Because of Poe’s Law, I do have to clarify that I am being EXTREMELY fucking sarcastic. I’m sorry for your struggles. I have lots of struggles of my own, but food security is not one of them, thankfully. I’m sorry <3

    I hope the Dems are able to do more than we fear they won’t and are able to fix some of this shit.

    Fuck fascism.

      Hell, I won’t lie. On special days like my partners birthday, hell yeah

      I could buy like 8lbs of crab legs for $119. That would last us 3 days of eating, plus if we use it for other meals.

      Compared to going to a restaurant and paying that for a 1-2lb bag each.

      I have no shame in saying we would get things to make life bearable.

      Plus it helped my son try different things. It didn’t just feed us, it made us feel like things were going to be okay.

      But yes. Fuck fascism. It’s the bane of any species.
