Poverty is Growing, Becoming More Common, and More Exposed
Recently, there has been a lot of talk about poverty. Mostly because during the government shutdown, the federal government food program, SNAP, ran out of funding. Out of some 330+ Million Americans, 42 million rely on SNAP to supplement their grocery purchases every month. In New York State alone, $770 million is spent by the federal government every month, and California, over $1 Billion. It's a big deal.
As a result, there was a world's share of celebrity lip-wagging and open wallets. Pop Star, Billie Eilish reportedly donated 25% of her wealth to those solving hunger in the United States. She also did as much as she could to call out billionaires like Elon Musk.
Musk's response, he's going to solve poverty the same way every other technocrat envisions:
Poverty can and will be eliminated, but envy is eternal https://t.co/WHn0l2CruD
