(2,488 posts)Experienced the pretty typical Ramon bit (I did too in collage). Did you grow up in a one parent family without a car to drive or bus money to use to take you to get food? I spent the 60s in a town of 200 5 miles outside of Fresno with NO commodities program and then my mother, my sister and I were dumped in Fresno in 71' by my 'good Christian' family who couldn't be bothered any longer by the poor widow and her kids. As I said... Fresno didn't have a real safety net for the poor in the seventies.
They didn't care then and if you were here now, you would see that they still don't care if the poor or homeless starve, although now churches and food banks have stepped up to help people survive and SNAP will give you some relief too although it's future is unsure due to the orange Himmler.
I'm not willing to delve deeper into my private past to satisfy someone who is only trying to win an argument to support a candidate who praised breadlines.
And yes... I have 1100+ posts. I don't live my life at DU. I grew up in the real world and still live in it 95 % of my time.
Have a great day posting.
ONLY!!! 2019 and beyond.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
