There's going to be a lot of people relying on this. I just wish they'd bite the bullet and offer meals on the weekends too, or act not just as soup kitchens but as food pantries so that families could stock up and not show up every day.

Food pantries are important but it's also important for people to have access to prepared food. One of the reasons takeout restaurants are "essential" is bc not everyone lives somewhere that's set up to refrigerate or cook anything.

No argument here.

Which is something that Congress does need a course on. They have passed bills thinking it's still 1930 AND 1955. Because mutually exclusive contrary to fact makes the candy drawer go down better.
