Actually this is probably also a consequence of the ICE raids at Home Depots and the community pushback against the company's complicity
Finally, & hardly a distress signal in my view. Yes, it's not a good sign for "capitalism," but capitalism needs to go.

Just when you thought the Trump Administration couldn’t go any lower. They are doing everything they can to delay and stop food assistance to Americans in need.
The Administration must follow the law, fully pay benefits, and stop weaponizing hunger during a Republican shutdown.

I heard some old friends at Pod Save America were in town, so I decided to stop by. As we saw this week, we can change this country for the better. But it’s going to take all of us getting organized and having honest conversations about the best way forward.

Easy to believe this guy ignored someone who passed out in the Oval Office. He did ignore a guest at a Mar-a-Lago event who fell off the stage and split his head open and complained about the blood staining his marble floor. The lack of empathy is on-brand.
