Hey, if you can’t afford groceries, steal them. The world owes you at least that. Until we can survive without eating I will judge no one for stealing food so long it’s from the corporations and not each other. And many people this day agree with me.
I don't disagree on a moral level, but I don't think that "risk going to jail" is particularly good advice. If there's any social programmes or charities, see if you qualify before resorting to desperate measures.
The rate at which US working class people are racking up debt is astounding right now. Post-COVID in the face of corporate profiteering price increases has left us unable to pay the bills, so we start borrowing to maintain a way of life (or even just to live at all). Phase I was draining what savings were there, Phase II is now piling up debt while the 1% do stock buybacks. Phase III? Not sure, but it isn't likely to be sunshine and lollipops.
