I would imagine the HN demographic pays quite a bit in taxes, both state and federal.

One would think that in 2025, in one of the wealthiest countries on Earth, we could at least solve food insecurity.

We're not going to solve food insecurity when one major political party thinks it's kind of a problem but not big enough to actually do something about, and the other major political party is doing whatever they can policy-wise to increase food insecurity.

If they are in the U.S. and wealthy, they pay relatively little. That's why the U.S. has a problem funding these things.
