Why would I be mad at corporations stealing trillions when there are poor people getting dozens of dollars!

It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Its so frustrating that I can get a hot meal with food stamps. Right now I have a surplus of like 2k because I'm a single adult and I didnt change my spending habits when the covid bonus came in. Its probably mostly because I dont cook for myself most of the time so Im mostly buying like... pasta and cereal lol.
And apparently they're planning to just... take people's surpluses back soon according to one of my disability staff. If I could spend that money on a fucking pizza or something that'd be fucking fantastic, but no. I guess Ill just spend my surplus on a bunch of nonperishables to donate to a food pantry or something? Because just having the gov take it back is not happening lol fuck em.
A rice cooker could be a game changer. We've experimentally cooked Aldi's bagged risotto in ours to good result, so I'd bet any rice-a-roni or other boxed and flavored rice dish would be an easy fire and forget meal. Just add water, turn it on, and come back in 30 minutes.
Also, Instant Pots make really easy rice and lentils dishes (lentils and white rice cook together perfectly) that can be saved and eaten on for days, or probably even frozen like a DIY tv dinner.
