> An American Hunger Crisis Is Coming https://washingtonmonthly.com/2025/10/08/an-american-hunger-crisis-is-coming/
The #crisis has always been there. It's just that the #USGovernment #USDA is no longer reporting #hunger numbers. Thus if you don't mention the problem, the problem goes poof, and as you starve, remember who to thank.

For starters, I know crazy, but removing slot machines from military facilities may be a start. Having said that, given availability of things like online betting, too little too late.
> Fewer Immigrants Means Fewer Workers, Less Growth: BLS Labor Force Projections https://cepr.net/publications/fewer-immigrants-means-fewer-workers/
Gee, can't imagine why. On side note, this may be worth reading for a few insights, including mention of women in, or rather out, of the workplace.
#SaveYouAClick: because, to The Man, the only statistics that matter are those of men working. Women need to stay home anyhow and raise the kids, which is not "real" work.

I'll give you a hint: cheap. The privileged and CDC can all bitch and moan about diets, etc. but reality is simple: healthy food is fucking expensive. Until you fix THAT, this will continue.

Donald Trump’s decision to fire Erika McEntarfer, the Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), brings back memories of Richard Nixon’s orders to identify Jews at the Labor Department. Both efforts stem from paranoid delusions that the people producing the economic data were involved in a conspiracy to make them look bad.
