I saw a quote in an article that decried the banning of junk food from SNAP where some virtue signaling lib said something to the effect of 'keeping SNAP open to choices avoids the risk of shame when a purchase is denied'. Shame has been replaced with entitlement. We went through hard times growing up where there were times we had pancakes for dinner. Even had some relatives offer help, that my dad proudly refused, other than the second hand clothes from older cousins that constituted our 'back to school' wardrobe. That ethic now seems quaint, an artifact of a bygone era.
