Everywhere you look there are families struggling to pay their bills, make a house payment, pay rent, buy groceries, pay for healthcare, make payments for childcare, basic survival. Sheep get it. Sheep like to zing those who cause problems for others, ignore the needs of others, push dangerous and costly agendas not for the good of all, but only the good of some. In this vain we invite you to not just read this for laughs but to take a hard look next to you. It might be a family member or friend, coworker or one who just lost their job and everything they worked for. Sheep are not immune to this fight. We might mock ourselves and the means we will go to keep up our boudoir image. But even for sheep, the fight is real.
Not everyone is able to afford the kinds of groceries they once did. Going to the store is now a fight to see what they can afford and maintain a household as well. Whether you live in a big city or small community, rich or poor, middle class or homeless, people are fighting the good fight. We challenge you to go beyond your comfort zone, take a hard look at those who are suffering. Look at the long lines of people waiting to get food at food banks. Go to the food banks and drop off whatever you can, or a donation for them to keep them filled.
No Margie it’s not a political issue or statement. It is a human request, one that Congress could take on, in order to assist those who are in most need. You won’t get rich, and you won’t make brownie points with a dictator, but what you gain is self-respect, dignity, while preserving both in those who are in need. Those who are struggling are not who you might think. They are teachers, nurses, parents, fired federal and private sector employees, people who lost wages and security.
Maga would call them losers, laugh at them, mock them, spit on them. Sheep are here to tell you, nobody is immune, it can happen to anyone and unlike a limping biscuit, or Kidd Rock, Ted Scroogent, or any Musk supporter, including Elon himself, yes, it can happen to them. No amount of Zieg Heils will help or change it. The way things are going now, the public just might end up much like the victims of Auschwitz, where the poor were picked up, taken to internment camps for no other reason than poverty.
Bertha shudders at the thought of innocent people struggling to survive must also worry about a mad dictator wanna be, willing to lock up the poor, middle class. Their only crime is poverty. Poverty is not a crime, and nobody should mock it, nor those who are living thru it. Its real, painful, embarrassing, expensive, and those who only see that little bit of assistance are losing rights, civil liberties, voting rights, all of it.
People didn’t realize how powerful groceries were. It’s the items themselves, but it’s what they represent. Unless you are in or have walked in the shoes of many, and Bertha and Puppy have, you cannot appreciate what those items mean. To Bertha it means no more bicycle pumps to inflate those damn implants, or super glue to keep her wigs on straight, duct tape to remove fur when she cannot get to the salon. Puppy can get his produce and yaya’s on, He can grope, hump, ride and slide to his heart’s content, and have a crudite platter for later. Did you really think we would forget to add the sarcasm and humor, oh ye of little faith.
Sheep don’t care if you are putting together bags like we did for families, with can openers, spices, salt and pepper to cook with. Just make sure it’s not stale, spoiled or about to dance. If you really feel rich, and want to put smiles on faces, get a 50.00-dollar gift card in place of the canned goods. We know it is a lot, but think of all you can do with this, not buying those lattes, getting your roots retouched, or nails repainted. It is something you take for granted, but something so many can’t.
Sheep are looking out for the little guys and gals, their families, little ones, and with your help, together we can give them some confidence that people are looking out for them and each other. In case you are wondering, yes sheep have donated to their favorite food pantry, and plan on getting backers to help us with our goal. There is so much we cannot control now, but this is something that we give our stamp of approval to. It’s not political, does not care if you are every color of the rainbow, your size, choice, party. It is giving back to those most in need. If sheep can do it, Bertha and Puppy can do it, we know you have it in your hearts to do this too.
