      China has been having unprecedented rain, storms, flooding and has destroyed countless livestock and farms. The produce has been wiped out. China has an "eat everything off your plate" propaganda going right now because of it. That also means less of its extras get exported to America, Europe and the rest of the world. It contributes to hunger everywhere.

    I'm a senior and live on social security. Today i got hungry and ate a bowl of cereal to satisfy my hunger. I figure it cost me about fifty cents. I save about enough for five..six...maybe even seven bowls of that cereal each time i don't buy a cup of coffee at Starbucks.

    America is a rich country, and yet average people are struggling to get food. One of the failures of capitalism, where 99.9% of wealth is concentrated within 0.1% of the population. Don't be fooled by GDP per capita measure, while the reality shows very opposite. Statistics can lie after all. We need a government and a system that doesn't look into quantities and numbers, but putting quality of life of all its citizens above those meaningless quantities. America needs more than a new President, it needs a new system.

    When the President wanted to make America great again - what did he mean. Again indicates that it was a point in time than needed to be recaptured. When was that, what year epitomized America at the type of greatness he and his supporters wanted to recapture. I'm curious as to what was lost that made it not great anymore. Which President presided over that time.

    There's way too much food waste for this many people to either not get enough food or are going hungry. Before anyone starts that "get sued if donated" inaccuracy, it's been law since the Clinton administration that it can be donated without fear of lawsuit. They just don't want to.
