Not everyone is as fearful as you. And some would prefer to show a good example to their kids and stand up for their values.

Of course not. Not anyone that doesn’t have any dependents.

You all get to do almost nothing all day (except post weak takes on Lemmy) and act like you are carrying the economy on your back.

Fuck off. The adults have people who depend on them.

Interesting… not being willing to starve your children means you’re fearful to you. I hope you don’t have any children yourself.

Yes, the scourge of starving american children everytime someone gets laid off, I know it well.

I’m glad you’re so sarcastically sure of yourself.

In 2022, 17% of all households with children — representing 13.4 million kids — were grappling with food insecurity, according to the USDA. In some of these households, only adults were food insecure. In other households, children were directly impacted.

The USDA estimates that 44.2 million people lived in food insecure households nationwide in 2022. Since these estimates do not include homeless families, the actual number of children impacted by food insecurity is even larger.

Also, fired is not the same as laid off. And if you get fired in an at-will state, you may not be entitled to unemployment.

The fact that you and others apparently have no compassion for the poor makes me wonder exactly what you’re protesting for.
