24. This IS sick.
And it has to do with a profound lack of morals--perhaps even a mental illness--NOT living in Florida, or being poor, or hungry, or republican, or white, or minority--or anything else.

I do not know of ONE church, or even very many homes in America, where you could not go and explain you were starving and someone would not slap together a sandwich for you (I've been both giver and receiver in that regard). I've worked in restaurants, fast food, 7-11's where we ALWAYS had something past date, stale, old, out of the fryer too long that we'd give away during our shift or at the end of the night.

The next time you're tempted to blame this on 'Jeb' or 'Bushy economy'--or anything like that--ask yourself if YOU lived in Florida and someone was hungry wouldn't YOU give them something to eat? Well, so would the rest of the country--this wasn't about money to eat, clothes for the kid, or freezing in the winter.
