Jessica Williams on How SNAP Cuts Make America Look Like the Hunger Games | The Daily Show
If only there was a program that prevented Americans from going hungry… Jessica Williams investigates America’s hunger problem after SNAP benefits were reduced. She interviews SNAP opponent and Forbes columnist John Tamny, asking: How long it will take for kids to learn hunting and foraging techniques? Tamny’s dystopian vision of an America where poor people battle each other for existence (perhaps aired on TV for the masses) strikes Jessica as oddly familiar, and she’s determined to prepare NYC youth for the impending Hunger Games.

Petition to stop feeding John Tamny so he can experience what he'd sentence other people to. Don't sell him any groceries, don't serve him in any restaurants.

"We don't send the poor in the US to fight each other"
Where are all the military recruitment centers, in the rich neighborhoods or the poor ones?

Is John Tamney in on the skit, or is he actually being serious!?… If the latter, he is a scary, delusional monster! 🤦🏼♂️

Gosh I wish there was a program that existed that ensured people could access groceries when they're unable to afford it either from the cost of living constantly rising or joblessness due to employers being allergic to employing or responding to any applicants.
