    (legitimate question) why don’t people in need use food availability programs like food stamps instead of stealing for essentials?

      when you have children to feed and you’re hungry yourself - standing in line to fill in a form and wait an interderminate amount of time to be potentially denied something that comes with a huge amount of restrictions it’s just easier to steal.

      There is enough food and wealth to feed and home everyone. Theft is a service issue.
