ParticipantBG believe it or not some people are at the limit. They live as simple as they can. They dont have lawns to water, they already are on the oatmeal and yogurt diet, and they are already on or near the threshold.
They will not cope. Your idea for increased sustenance is great. Wake me up when it becomes a reality. Meanwhile monthly bills keep coming in for these people.
There are plenty who can cope. There are plenty who cannot. Telling those who cannot that they can simplify when they already have their backs against the wall is elitist and ignorant.

ParticipantYes Brian, I am sure that poor people have lavish yards and green lawns.
Forget it dude, you are so damn out of touch I am not going to waste my time with you anymore. Go drive down to southeast San Diego or some of the other lower income neighborhoods and have a look around.
Got tell them that they will all be able to cope as all the necessities they utilize in life start to increase in price but that their wages will not increase at the same rate.
As usual you cling to your own vision of things rather then admit to the fact that many don’t have the means or will not have the means to live in your world that you paint for them.
My four words to you are:
Watch the disparity grow.

ParticipantAwesome answer Brian. So basically eating the same thing everyday and maybe fasting every once in awhile is normal for you so everyone else should do it right? This is your implication.
Furthermore you make it sound like whole foods are not going up in price. It is only junk food that is going up in price correct. You decline to talk about energy or fuel or water as well.
Sure everyone will be fine. Once more your missing the point as your answer is Brian centric and your solution to the problem is “Live like Brian”, “eat what Brian eats”, “Do what Brian does”. You miss the point entirely that your model of life is not universal and others do not have the capability or means to eat or live like Brian. The argument is not about obesity and whole foods goodnees. Jeez of course whole foods are better for you then fast foods.
Damn Brian the argument is not that we are not a wasteful society. If you want to frame it that way then my response is that most of that waste occurs from the upper and middle class. Those that cannot afford it are not those wasting the most.
Scaredy why don’t you educate yourself about hunger in the US. Here are some numbers for you. There are 49.1 million people in the US that are considered food insecure. There are over 17 million people who live in households that were determined to have very low food security. Here are a couple links for you.
http://www.frac.org/html/hunger_in_the_us/hunger_index.htmlSo while you want to make light hearted comments about it, and Brian believes that if everyone ate like him, that it would all be okay. That as the price of food, and energy and fuel and water goes up, all of these people will “cope” and be okay.
*******************************
The argument here is that making blanket statements that encompass everyone is a complete show of ignorance. I believe that most people that are making a certain amount of money will indeed get by. However I also believe that the disparity will grow rapidly.
There has not been A SINGLE RESPONSE actually countering what I claim will happen to those living below a certain means.
sdr no of course we are not Zimbabwe but nobody wants to actually acknowledge the amount of poor and hungry we have. pr wants to keep saying I am being melodramatic but of course doesn’t want to counter what I said as well. I also maintain that more Americans will join these ranks. So it is okay to sluff it off and say well at least they are not in Tijuana or Zimbabwe, well that is fine as well. I guess to not acknowledge the problem is one way to deal with it.
My argument is not we will not cope, “we” being most of us here on Piggington and tens of millions of Americans. My argument is that there are millions that barely cope now. That number will grow, disparity in the US will grow, and the burden on the government will grow. The argument that these stresses will be a catalyst for improvement is one that I do not dispute but I do not see a rapid or quick improvement, nor do I see those improvements benefitting those who need it most. They cannot afford it.

ParticipantNice try pr. I did not ask you what you feed your kids. Feel free to reread my post.
What I saked you was do you feed them the same thing day after day. The illustration was made to you or anyone who has kids to prove that feeding them the same thing day after day is not a realistic method of “coping”. Maybe you do though and maybe you don’t.
I will add one more question though. I believe that as the cost of basic food, water, energy fuel and services goes up, that the disparity between the haves and have nots will grow. That these conditions will create make it harder on our govt, not easier. I also believe that it will increase the welfare burden. While those with means will “cope” many will find it very very hard to cope. Those are my thoughts without making a personal attack on you (which I have not done) or Brian, (which I have done).
If you disagree that is fine, you want to present your case and I will debate it in a civil manner. If you do not want to answer the other questions that I posed to you then that is okay with me.
bg – I agree with your point and didn’t imply you were whining or could not cope. You do not need to point out the shortcomings of our govt subsidization to me.
