Several disaster-assistance groups, #FEMA employees & #emergency management experts said the new requirements in the dept’s fiscal 2025 #aid contracts would make it harder for #nonprofits to help the most vulnerable Americans in the aftermath of a #disaster. Some members of the national volunteer disaster group network also questioned whether the new requirements are #constitutional & point out that they seem to violate local & state laws that prevent asking about a person’s #immigration status.
By accepting the #federal #grants & awards, the new documents state, volunteer organizations that help after #disasters must agree to not “operate any program that benefits illegal immigrants or incentivizes illegal #immigration.”
That could put groups that provide #food, #housing, #MentalHealth support & other assistance in disaster-stricken #states in the position of having to verify #aid recipients #legal status before providing assistance, experts said.
FBI HQ cafeteria had some problems meeting DC code at its last health inspection—
🤮 " Food is not stored in a manner to protect from cross contamination. Raw bacon over cooked ham"
🤮 "grease station at grille line leak"
So does this mean you can pelt Stormtroopers with cold foodstuffs? As is your Democratic right!

🙄 Saying grocery prices will drop due to tariffs being lifted, is like saying people would save money at the pumps when the carbon tax was eliminated.
That worked out well, right?
Right?

This bears repeating: despite the massive #productivity of the world #economy, nearly one-third of the #human population does not have secure access to #food.

Given that secure access to #food is central to the BNPL method, this suggests that post-2011 #poverty trends have probably not improved much.

Third, while we don't yet have robust BNPL data after 2011, we know that #food insecurity has increased steadily in more recent years, going from 21% in 2014 to 30% in 2022.

A growing body of #literature argues that the #WorldBank ’s PPP-based method has a major empirical limitation: it does not account for the cost of meeting basic needs in any given context.

Scholars have recently developed a more accurate method for measuring extreme #poverty. This is done by comparing people’s #incomes to the prices of essential goods (specifically #food, #shelter, #clothing & #fuel) in each country.
