This photo was sent my way by someone who knows I work in #food security. I don’t know where it was taken or who deserves credit. (The tickets appear to name a pub).
But I’d sure love to see this kindness replicated. Widely. It’s critically needed & warms my heart. ❤️
@Sheril I don’t get it.
I’m thinking all those would have had way more effect going to a food bank. Or taxes, in the case of a sane gov.
Here we see a restaurant profiting off the charity of people, on top of some of those meals likely never getting used up at all.
@alec @Sheril What do you mean food banks are not providing hot food, the kitchens they supply absolutely do. And each one of those bills would feed 10 times the people.
I definitely did not mean food stamps, or even anything related in the US, hence the “sane gov” qualification of the taxes. US is like the worst in that in my mind.
@alec Who said it’s radical? It just isn’t a very good way to give food to the hungry.
It might be good for other reasons - which comes down to being able to sit in a pub basically.
@matrix9180 @alec @Sheril I am not “shitting” on anyone. Asking questions should never be shamed.

Some things are just what they are. This is a gift to people who are without food, are, right now, not ever eating with dignity. It isnt a way to solve billionaires stealing wages, it doesnt solve bribed politicians giving away tax gifts to rich corporations, it doesnt end poverty.
Its just a bit of dignity for a dinner or lunch.
People deserving dignity, afforded dignity, is a powerful society-changing understanding.
Also you are not wrong. Rights shouldnt be gifts.
