Why So Much Food?
Justice Clarence Thomas eviscerates progressivism in a new quote.
Progressivism seeks to replace the basic premises of the Declaration of Independence, and hence our form of government. It holds that our rights and our dignities come not from God, but from the government. It requires of the people a subservience and weakness incompatible with a Constitution premised on the transcendent origin of our rights.1
— Justice Clarence Thomas
If you haven’t read Justice Thomas’s remarks at the University of Austin, Texas, I highly recommend doing so. Link is below in the footnote.

Mom, why do we have so much food?
Because so far the Marxist, leftist progressives haven’t been able to completely destroy Western Civilization.

This is hard for so many to comprehend, but Justice Thomas put it as succinctly as anyone ever has.
I was a young girl back in the late 60's. As time went on, I watched. I saw that people could not work full time, have a decent wage, buy a house, or rent an apartment, raise a family (more than one, maybe two children) and school them, pay bills, taxes, fees, licences, insurances, be able to afford groceries, transportation costs, utilities, clothing, and have some money leftover for a once a year family vacation, and be able to give to charity, help people in need.
