Yesterday 10,000 cars in San Antonio lined up for food distribution.
More than any picture or statistic I’ve seen, this is what scares me. pic.twitter.com/V9JVO724BU

The future is here. And when those folks can no longer afford their car payments they’ll all be on foot. Many people are surprised, but all those people one or two paychecks from starving have been there all along — even as Kevin Drum and others on the “liberal” side have denied it.
This will only get worse, not better. It’s likely to get a lot worse, too.
And no one sits in a car food bank line for hours unless they really need those supplies, no matter if they seem to be driving a “nice” car. This means nothing in America where you can finance an OK car for near-infinity, thus the monthly payments are low. This is a far better choice than driving an unreliable clunker.
This is the world to come, here now; the world we’ve chosen.
