Sure, but only the poor ones, so who cares? Surely not those who distribute our taxes.

@molly0xfff Yep, that's exactly what's happening with my brother-in-law and his family. His LIHEAP payments are delayed and now their power is shut off.

That is if people have homes. I fear for myself and my wife as our government tries to abolish rent controls. We will be living under a bridge, if we get lucky.

@molly0xfff I remember Hugo Chavez sending fuel oil to struggling New England state residents when W was president.
