As people across the United States face massive cuts to Medicaid, SNAP and other vital programs, many are asking: What happens when the systems we rely on fail us? And what happens when our communities are torn apart by toxic inequality, political fragmentation and declining social trust?
The solution may lie in something that humans have been doing throughout our existence: taking care of each other, often without realizing it. Today that’s what some of us call the “solidarity economy.”
I love farmers’ markets, but I have never been to one that wasn’t super expensive.
If you’re in the United States, don’t worry. Between tariffs and mass deportations, ordinary grocery store veggies are going to be more expensive than farmers’ markets pretty soon.
Mine is actually really affordable when you focus on the produce. But if you go for food trucks and “fun” stuff like jewelry, flowers, then it’s pricey. - I’m not complaining
Depends where you live. They’re great down South.
