Huge Increase in Demand at My Local Food Bank
October 28, 2009 at 10:34 AM Leave a comment
Regular readers of this site know that I volunteer at a local food bank on Fridays. Today I learned that, as a sign of just how bad it is out there, 77% more people came in for food during the month of September over last September, and 74% more people sought financial assistance or shelter.
I’d like to march on over to Citigroup or Goldman Sachs and ask them if they could oh, maybe shave a couple percentage points off the $20 billion they’re going to pay their employees in bonuses this year and donate it to us. Bastards. The way our society is structured is So. Fucked. Up.
