Miami Residents Wait Hours In Line For Grocery Gift Cards As Food Insecurity Grows Due To Covid
Only in America are poor people fat
Publix has plenty of BOGO deals. And if they get a price wrong you get for free.
“Chinas not gonna eat your lunchâ€ÂÂ-Joe Biden
Meanwhile, the billionaires are worth TRILLIONS of dollars combined ….. but they prefer to keep 98 Percent of their money …….
I will never vote republican again.
The madly saxophone postmeiotically spell because feast partly man failing a needy mattock. hurried, elastic velvet
Isn’t the US a first world country? Oh my
Miami is a mess! Most of the people living there are poor. The rent is so high and low wages . Thank God I moved from there some years ago. I Live better in Tennessee rent more affordable and food is cheaper. Now I have money for vacations. I just visit Miami on vacation. I have the feeling Miami, Florida will be like just like California someday. It's getting there believe me.
Humble yourself and pray you Jesus surrender because he the only salvation all he ask is believe he is God and be baptized in his name
Cuesanse una olla da frijoles y otra de arroz ðŸÂ²ðŸÂÂÅ¡
What a joke, 500 card limit for the day hahaha, they doing this cause they taking forever to interview new applicants for food stamps and unemployment benefits are ending this month. Florida and the government never surprises me, could be republicans or democrats, country will always remain the same, they love seeing the poor begging and dying. They haven't even negociate the new care package or stimulus check, it's always about how the congress is on vacations or taking care of other things, lol.. oh and by the way, arent we in a pandemic called COVID-19, why isnt the county taking measures of this line, people aren't 6 feet apart? What a comedy.
Clearly the MAGA is strong in Florida. They got tired of all the winning so they gave all the money away to help their fellow states. The Bible says something along those lines right conservative Christians? So much winning! 😂
When are they going to get rid of this anchor?
McConnell DOES NOT CARE THAT PEOPLE HAVE NO ROOF OVER THERE HEAD and NO FOOD FOR STARVING FAMILIES 😡🤬😷 but he will make sure that he gets a paycheck
Public is happy who owns them hmm Big Corp.
Planned all of this Wake up
Thanks to the Communist Democrat party
MIAMI voted for trump. Their IGNORANCE will starve them to death.
I hope something works out soon for the lady and her husband unemployed for 9 months. ðŸ™ÂÂ🙠She is lucky to have family. Many would be living on the street or in their car.
Check it out governor SISOLACK , Las Vegas residents are filling up our parks and fields!!! Do SOMETHING!!!!#!!!!!!!!!!ðŸ˜ÂÂ
This should never happen to people…
EVER.
This is crazy.
America. The Greatest Country In The world???
Half of these ppl are fake n just taking advantage of the system
Mean while white house focus. Is on false election claims. And inciting civil wars
Why is that witch laughing? Does she think decapitation is funny!!
I'm not someone who is against saving pets, I think we all should be more responsible when adopting animals and we should be very aggressive in making sure NO creature is harmed or mistreated. But for the life of me, I don't understand why there are so many more save animals sites or posts than there are to save people? Why can't we as people be as aggressive about the homeless, hungry, mentally Ill, and desperate people who are just trying to make it as we are about animals? I drive through DC every day the American capital, and not far from the white house, there are homeless living on the street. How is that possible in the richest country on earth? I was raised in the midwest and always thought DC, the white house was the "Emerald City" of American. But there are so many people in food lines. If we can find mistreated animals, why we can't find hungry and helpless people? I think as people we can chew gum and walk at the same time. I plead with the animal activist, states, and the government to widen and or include in your endeavors PEOPLE!
Why don’t you just say famine
Which would be the truth
Plandemic..
Meanwhile are politicians are eating very well smh God Bless America
Why is she laughing at the end? Did she not hear the entire piece and how devastating that is??
Germany has giving an average of 7,250 euros per month for the last 7 months
Pandemic and republican fiscal ideologies at their best 🇺🇸.
Very poor video,….People are struggling and the anchor in her home happy and laughing. No responsibility
Prayers to all
Look at this in America…heartbreaking! If trump had taken coronavirus seriously and told everyone to wear masks a year ago we wouldn't be in this position and with almost 300,000 Americans dead. On top of that, congress, especially the Republicans and McConnell, should be ashamed for collecting their big salaries and ignoring the evictions, the loss of jobs, the hunger that people are experiencing.
The rich got trillions. The Poor got a $250 gift card.
I didn't realize it was that cold in Miami that people have to be all bundled up.
