Lets be clear though, those people would have been better supported such that they wouldn't have needed to make a choice between eating and the pandemic if the outgoing Federal government hadn't made such a mess of their response (and refused point blank to support state and local governments who cannot borrow).

Local governments took as much money as they could to shore up their own finances including and especially their payrolls.

Props to the food banks and other organizations that did so much with so little.

Again, that's a mainstream topic that you see everywhere. Everyone is concerned about that, it's not some secret qualm.
