And all I’m saying is not everybody that steals food needs to steal food. There are actually kleptomaniacs all over the place and /r/shoplifting is good evidence.
And what everyone is trying to tell you is we can stand 1 person in 10 who steals doing it for fun because the other 9 are doing it to survive. We’re ok with 1 person needing counseling if 9 others get to wake up tomorrow.
So just for fun I decided to investigate. It appears that yhe nearest food bank is about 45 minutes from where I live by car. Which I can’t afford if I can’t afford food. So it’s really just over 2 hours both ways by public transit (we’re gonna assume I can afford that). So we’re talking 5 hours just to get a night’s worth of food (I hope you like cold beans and stale bread). Now there does appear to be 2 options closer. 1 that requires I enroll online (with what computer/network idk, hope your local library is still recieving funding) and the other is a once a week church meal. So idk, to me that doesn’t feel super livable.
So at this point it’s clear you don’t actually know what you’re talking about since you’re just listing grocery assistance programs even though I just outlined their shortcomings. I truly hope you never have a night on the streets
I mean- I get where you are coming from- but it is actually pretty easy to get on SNAP (foodstamps). They just outright give you a card to use only for food. Like 400usd (more if you have a kid). I personally don’t get it but I have helped others get on it. I also couldn’t eat 400 usd worth of food a month.

And I just saw a clit piercing in r/bodymods so clearly everyone who has an earring has genital piercings
