A 2-mile line in Arizona. A four-hour wait in Ohio. Millions seek help to avoid going hungry on Thanksgiving.

CINCINNATI, – A little more than a week before Thanksgiving, a line formed outside the Freestore Foodbank. Before the pantry opened, the temperature was 42 degrees.

"Are you here for food?" customers were asked when they walked in.

The answer was consistent: "Yes."

At the beginning of the pandemic, the food bank provided for 100 to 125 people a day. Recently, it served 374 on a single day.

For some in line, the experience was a new embarrassment they didn’t want to discuss. For others, it was a monthly trip, part of their survival.

Marquette Brant was allowed 35 pounds of groceries, but she took less.

She works at Sam’s Club, but in March, her hours were cut. In May, she came to the food bank for the first time.

Waiting in line, Brant stood under a sign with bold, white letters that said “Hope." For her, hope is the tuna and noodles she had for dinner the night before, made with groceries she received from the food bank.

Capitalists have captured both parties. Capitalism's ONLY priority is amassing more Capital, no matter the costs, especially not the external costs paid by non-Capitalists.

neo-feudalism is wage-slavery, debt-slavery.

Folden. He's on an anti-science crusade if you haven't noticed. He's lying since 2016 about being a HS basketball star. He used to post exclusively in the Spurs forum saying NBA players have no skill and the 3pt line ruined the NBA.

He decided to slither down here because his anti-science COVID takes upstairs were shitted on by Chump and others back in March when he subsequently disappeared until June. :lol He's so mad about it he's gone on this crusade and is now lying about flying all over the world since March without a mask. He's currently riding a bus to Dubai.

Thanks for clarification... thought they were talking about me, tbh. My life is 100% legit, I love it, but it's not overblown tbh at least not yet. I drive all over the US, not fly all over the world. I did get to be a manager for varsity football as a senior, tbh... that was actually my favorite athletics experience even though I didn't play after JV junior year.

I got to be an assistant defensive coordinator and really fell in love with the 3-4 zone blitz heavy scheme. My nose tackle, a bigger black dude named Dorian (he's since slimmed down) always gave me a hard time in anatomy class because I'd drop him back in some deep-ish coverage like 30% of the time tbh

As if Obama shared responsibility for the Repug/Fed Banksters' Great Depression and it's horrendous destruction of jobs.Obama bears the lion's share of responsibility for bailing them out instead of putting them in receivership, but you're right. Obama had little to do with how unemployment got so high in 2009.

Same is true of Trump. There's little he could have done to prevent the initial spike in unemployment, but it's legit to hold him responsible for what he did or didn't do about it afterward.

"The RTC closed 747 S&Ls with assets of over $407 billion.

The ultimate cost to taxpayers was estimated to be as high as $124 billion"

the S&L crisis derived directly from the Repugs deregulating them. They hung themselves with their own rope

In comparison, the Treasury + Fed had to dump several $T on BigFinance to bail them out

Worth it. Continental was the seventh biggest bank in the US when it failed (that's recalled by heart, posted somewhere in the forum.)

I don't really buy the premise that the banks were too big to reorganize in 2009. The way you do it is to hire the employees of the insolvent banks to staff the bridge banks -- which btw was done in the 1990s. Not doing so made the banks even more powerful and introduced moral hazard.

If a bank knows the government will backstop it when it becomes insolvent --even if that was due to fraud -- why should that bank obey the law, invest prudently, or take care to respect its fiduciary duties to its customers?

Rather than push the banks to bankruptcy, i would have(probably illegal) nationalized the banks, removed the C-suite and the next rank down for violating fiduciary responsibility. Pretty much as was done with Fannie Mae

There's lots of USA that should be nationalized, de-privatized, stuff that essential to life, like electrical grid, electric generation, data networks, water, drug research. If not nationalized, to be heavily regulated. A national non-profit bank, like Bank of North Dakota.
