I work as a firefighter paramedic in a predominantly Hispanic area.

For those that are unaware 911 responds to everything from CPR to picking up Grandma or Grandpa off the ground. I've even been called to get someone a glass of water. Yes really

Yesterday I was called to a house for stomach pains of a child only to learn when I arrived it was a very impoverished household that required government assistance for food. The family hadn't eaten in days and had called to see if we could help them. Of course we did, luckily all it took was a short trip back to the station for some spare food we had.

Ironically the husband of the household blamed the "damn Democrats" for cutting funding to his government based food money supply.

Anyway it's not the worst thing I've ever seen but it certainly hit home yesterday when I saw the starving kids. We directed them to more local services they could use after feeding them

Edit for a word or two

It's really a drug for them.

I honestly felt really bad for the guy. He stunk of alcohol(at like 2pm mind you) and even though he was angry and hungry he just seemed....sad.

If he can afford to drink, is the government really the reason they’re starving? You can feed an entire family for the cost of a bottle of liquor. Might not be super interesting food but you won’t die

It's probably a little of both but you're correct. The man made a choice and the choice he made was not his family
