Would you buy an electric truck?

Horror stories abound here. From variety store owners that show up in Mercedes cars to use the bank to stock their shelves, to people that throw turkeys and other unwanted stuff along the streets leadind away from the banks.

The difference between Canada and USA?

There really are some hungry people out there, whether from bad choices, bad luck, or both. I've never been hungry so can't imagine what that's like.

I was raised to believe "God helps those who helps themselves"... and also to give a hand to those who are less fortunate. Rather than hearing anecdotes, talk to a few of the people who are working distributing the food. I was in two pantries last week... I raised 20 extra chickens this summer and dropped them off at two local pantries.

The USA is one of the few countries where people without enough food are obese; cheap food isn't always healthy food.


Thread drift is common, but how did we get from electric trucks to food pantries?

Both are deemed essential to meeting human needs long term. We're taught begging will always be part of the human experience. The older I get the more questions I have and fewer answers I have for these questions!

What do you base the scam remark on? Do you agree the low income are in need of assistance?

Low-income California households can get free blackout-busting battery backup systems

I believe there's a difference between a "Hand Up" and a "Hand Out".
Humans need their dignity.
It's the old "Give a fish or Teach to fish" thought process.
You do no service to the person you leave in the same ditch within which you find him/her.

鼎ar companies with the 100 year old dealership models are at risk because they to not control the cradle to grave cycle because they sell to the dealerships not to the customers like Tesla does.

Does anyone know how musk got around the 吐ranchised dealer rules/laws, and who you gotta bribe and about how much it costs. Im told a senator cost a lot more than a representative.

I thought the car dealer association had that sewed up. In the movie Tucker there was a big problem with the dealers not wanting to sell the tucker car yet he was forced to work within the franchised dealer network? Catch 22

Just curious about the dealership issue but if you believe, like I do, that musk /Tesla bribed politicians consider this. He did it with tax payer money!

Laws put in place by the wealthy to harm humans down the road tend to collapse under their own weight.

How do you teach a man to fish, when the only fishing being done is by giant fishing and processing ships?

And this Pandemic is killing even more jobs and small businesses. We can't have a functioning society without jobs.

^^^^^
That is an analogy, you know. I don't believe that we have any processing ships in offshore waters here anyways. Perhaps that's another Canadian thing?
OTOH in the comment section of the local newspaper I commented that we could be teaching people to put in "Victory Gardens", rather than just handing out food. Somebody countered that the majority of hungry Mainers are in rural areas... I guess that means they automatically know how to grow a garden. I'm considering starting tomato and cucumber plants in 1 gallon pots next year to offer to the local food pantries. It will be interesting to see the response.

We have unity gardens in South Bend. I think there's something like over 55 of them spread out around town. From small little plots in vacant lots to over an acre in size, they are free to anyone that wants to come and pick veggies.

From everything that you've posted, South Bend sounds like a decent place to live. :thumbsup:
Or perhaps it's just the perspective of the poster?

It is a combination nice place to live and **** hole. Lots of shooting in the same places as the unity gardens. There are so many nice things here, and there are so many impoverished people here. It's really a strange place. But, it is my home.
