Sucks this guy sits in a jail cell for a crime he didn't commit. I keep trying to tell people that Luigi Mangione was fishing with me and my roommate that day, but nobody listens.

Oh yeah, that's definitely true. But our food system isn't ass backwards on accident, you know?

EXPANSION of food subsidies? They just gutted USDA programs providing food to food shelves all over the country. My local food bank recently switched to every two weeks instead of every week. It's already bad and only getting worse

Just Google "Neil Gaiman" and "scandal" for more context, but basically he used his position as a popular artist to do some gross, sex pest stuff.

Dairy Queen has been selling food since 1958. They are not "an ice cream store" any more than McDonalds is

But not in Marx's time. 45s and 33 1/3s weren't invented until the 40s

SOME of our hearts are in the right place

Okay, you seem to believe that every American is somehow perfectly reflected by its government, which is reductive but I get it, you're upset.

But if you live on planet Earth, whether or not it suits you, it absolutely IS your problem. My government is an extractive, imperialist bully. My government's military is single largest institutional consumer of fossil fuels and biggest single institutional emitter of greenhouse gases. My government has no qualms about making it your problem.

Pretending it's not your problem is like pretending the neighbor's house on fire isn't your problem. You can get away with that for a while, but eventually you'll burn too.

Nobody is being quiet about it, though. People are on the ground doing real things to try to change this. Like, ALL kinds of people. It takes time, and saying things like "your country is whack" isn't helpful in and of itself. Saying "looking at this thing happening in your whack country right now" (like this post) is helpful. I didn't ask anybody to solve our problems.

We are. It's going to take some time, and it will probably get a lot worse before it gets better, but we are.
