I've benefited from a lot of these programs before getting into security. It turns out that trying to support a partner and a kid on $40k/yr, even in the early 2000's, is basically impossible. My parents were divorced, and my dad is a disabled vet.
Food security has always been important, long before organizing with comrades who also occasionally needed support. So if you have money, donate.
Eventually benefits will come back. Hopefully we can bridge the gap... But we won't be able to for everyone. When things come back, don't just feel relieved and move on. The system is collapsing. If it doesn't completely fall apart now, it will eventually. If you aren't affected now, you will be. Organize now around food security.
The disaster is now. The best time to prepare was years ago. The second best time is now.
Once in a blue moon, discipline of fascists happens:

Orwell wrote
Nineteen Eighty-Four
not as a prophecy
but as an extrapolation and a warning.
As he explained:
“I do not believe that the kind of society I describe necessarily will arrive.
But I believe, allowing, of course, for the fact that the book is a satire,
that something resembling it could arrive.”
I'm sure you'll be relieved to know that #GhislaineMaxwell is not being mistreated. https://www.rawstory.com/amp/ghislaine-maxwell-2674277682-2674277682

1/N Mittaaminen on tunnetusti jännä asia ja sitä on montaa sorttia tekniikan ja ihmisten maailmassa. Mittaamisen ikävä puoli on, että siinä on paljon virhelähteitä: mitataan epärelevattia asiaa, sen väärää indikaattoria, väärästä paikkaa, epä-edustavasti tai vinoutuneesti, signaali muuttuu matkan varrella, mittari toimii väärin, mittaustietoa luetaan tai tulkitaan väärin jne...
