you don't really need to call supermarkets bread lines when you have actual bread lines. i've stood in them. they stretched for blocks and it took over an hour to go through it. the food was day old bread and other goods nearing or past their sell-by date
so many people think of "poor" as just "unable to afford luxuries" when it's more like "I have a job but dont have the ability to pay bills and eat regularly this month, and this isnt unusual or likely to change"
Imagine living in a place where you could stand in a bread line. My food bank requires ID, you need a car to get there, and it's strictly means tested.
That’s so fucked up. We lived in walking distance but still had to carry it all with us if we couldn’t manage a car trip. They didn’t ID or means test though, which I didn’t even know was a possibility. Do they think rich people are gonna show up and take all the stale bread?
I wonder if anyone in Portugal has launched a constitutional challenge against right governments based on that. Would love to see the chud-lite party attempt to argue they're building Socialism.
