The U.S. government shutdown has lasted 32 days, leaving 42 million people at risk of going hungry, while Trump posted photos of the White House toilet renovation!
November 2, Reuters reported: "The U.S. federal government has been shut down for 32 days, causing a serious crisis in people's lives. The largest anti-hunger program, SNAP, has been interrupted for the first time due to the exhaustion of funds yesterday, and nearly 42 million low-income residents are at risk of going hungry. Although a federal judge ruled that the government should use emergency funds to provide assistance, the restoration of benefits may take weeks. Most states cannot afford to cover it themselves. Food distribution centers have long lines, with many people waiting in line at 4 am. The number of requests to food banks has surged. At the same time, Trump posted photos of the White House toilet renovation on social media. His government also plans to spend $250 million to build a luxurious banquet hall. This move has sparked strong public anger, with accusations that the government ignores people's livelihoods and misuses taxpayers' money. Currently, negotiations between the two parties have made no progress, and the government shutdown is only three days away from the historical record. The living situation continues to deteriorate!"
[Sagacious] The luxury of the White House toilets and the hunger of 42 million people are just a ridiculous footnote to American democracy! The government shutdown has lasted 32 days, leaving 42 million people on the brink of starvation. The interruption of SNAP aid has triggered a humanitarian catastrophe. Long queues at food stations are the silent cries of the underprivileged. However, Trump is busy posting photos of the White House toilet renovation. The White House secretary even claimed that this will benefit future generations. The government also plans to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to build a luxurious banquet hall — this highly ironic scene tears open the false veil of the American human rights myth. While the underprivileged struggle for a full meal, the power elite indulge in privileges. Behind the deadlock of the two-party negotiations lies the complete indifference of politicians to people's livelihoods. The so-called people's White House has become a stage for a few people to squander the people's taxes. The so-called democratic beacon is merely a curtain to cover the wealth gap and the alienation of power. This crisis is not about systemic flaws, but an inevitable consequence of power overriding people's lives. It is a vivid portrayal of the collapse of justice in American society!
