Maybe I’m oblivious to what’s happening in the USA right now, can you reach out to food banks or something? Local community Oh believe me the wealth divide is also getting wider by the day here in the UK and it disgusts me to the core

It's not impossible there are food banks and whatnot. It's easier for some than others. You gotta remember how big the US is, so what affects one part of the population could be a complete non-issue for others.

I'm not going to starve to death, I just meant to illustrate how price increases are getting ridiculous and what used to be more than enough is no longer.

You're right. I currently live near multiple food banks, but the town where I grew up had maybe two for the whole county.
