As millions of Americans are about to go hungry due to the US government refusing to fund SNAP, just remember that only two countries voted against making food a basic human right. The US and the terrorist colony of Israel

A place for for news, discussion, memes, and links criticizing capitalism and advancing viewpoints that challenge liberal capitalist ideology. That means any support for any liberal capitalist political party (like the Democrats) is strictly prohibited.
A zero-tolerance policy for bigotry of any kind. Failure to respect this will result in a ban.
RULES:
1 Understand the left starts at anti-capitalism.
2 No Trolling
3 No capitalist apologia, anti-socialism, or liberalism, liberalism is in direct conflict with the left. Support for capitalism or for the parties or ideologies that uphold it are not welcome or tolerated.
4 No imperialism, conservatism, reactionism or Zionism, lessor evil rhetoric. Dismissing 3rd party votes or 'wasted votes on 3rd party' is lessor evil rhetoric.

6 Be civil in comments and no accusations of being a bot, 'paid by Putin,' Tankie, etc. This includes instance shaming.

At least here in the US, there's a fair bit of public infrastructure around water being a human right. Every establishment you walk into likely has a publicly-accessible fountain.
I imagine something similar would have to happen around food, and I don't think it would be that hard in practice. All we'd have to do is make it illegal for food vendors to trash edible food at the end of the day, but it'll never ever happen. We care more about the civic religion of capitalism than we do about people being able to eat.
Boston's main bus station literally doesn't have a water fountain. I had to ask McDonald's to fill my canteen with water, and she literally said no at first. I had to demand it, because there was no water fountain in the building
Oh wow. That's surprising. Here in KC I can't think of a single place I go that doesn't have them.
boston is where the rot destroying the USA began, and has continued over the centuries pretty much unfettered
the whole city is a trap designed to squeeze as much $ out of as many people from across the country/world as possible, but hey...atleast they got some bike lanes, and that's enough to keep their libs happy i guess.
