These guys are literally asking what “benefits” (to the rich) Meals on Wheels provides and since it doesn’t give any benefits (to the rich) they should be dismantled.

This is the problem with the hypercapitalist mindset that good businessmen make good politicians, than government should run on business principles.

Because if you’re running a business, it’s entirely reasonable to ask “what’s the ROI for this program?” and to scale it back or abandon it if you’re not seeing good ROI.

But that’s because the aim of business is to make money. The aim of government is not about making money, it’s about responsible stewardship of shared resources and doing the best we can to take care of our people.

And yet here we are, living the plutocratic dream under the control of a bunch of businessmen who ask “are we making enough money off of this?” about programs to care for the poor.

Tldr eat the rich. It’s the only viable solution at this point. We’re too far gone for anything else.
