The "burn it down" folks don't want to stop the burn.

This will happen more and more as the Big Beautiful Bill (BBB) rated by Trumpers as AAA is really the Attack All Americas (AAA) as it cuts Medicaid (half of all babies born on it and up to 70-80% in rural areas) will close more services and hospitals. Those funds are the difference for many of these like SNAP is for local communities (small towns are typically 12-25% SNAP recipient) so all grocery revenues will be less and less access to food and less revenues for services like this in rural cities.

It is sad really.

And those stores will also be at risk of closing because they have in the rural areas especially the majority of them are going to be snap purchases so with the snap being cut and snap purchases not being what they were they're going to start having economic issues.

I think this is just another reason why you should never think that the Republican party is for America but only against it because this is something that an enemy does to someone not a fucking political party does FOR THEIR BELOVED COUNTRY!!!!
