Nice, that was super fast. I guess it's probably enough for one person to survive if they practically don't move at all the entire month, for a little while at least.

Still not pleasant I imagine.

What would you be willing to do to ensure that your fellow citizens aren't dying of literal hunger on the streets?

(Clearly to most Americans, that answer is "absolutely nothing")

Exactly, and thst sounds like the sort of rations Americans had during the world wars. It was supplimented by a mass movement of community gardens. Personally I'm more a fan of the ration points system we used so that you aren't stuck with stuff you won't use and those who'd rather eat like Hannibal of Carthage and go less hungry can do that while those who'd rather eat more resource intensive foods like meat can accept the cost of their demands in the form of calories. Though that may just be because I've always been the sort who'd rather be full of lentils and potatoes than hungry after a burger, even before I quit meat.

I think some of us have experienced poverty (or near-poverty) in our lives, so we understand things like this.

That's what the cigarettes are for
