[SOAPBOX]

My ma and her two elderly disabled sisters who live with her get Meals on Wheels. It’s a very useful thing for them, especially considering that my mother is the cook of the three, and her hands have degraded pretty bad due to diabetic neuropathy. It may seem trivial to someone who doesn’t need it, but it is life-changing for someone who does.

The Trump Administration may find the case for Meals on Wheels to be lacking, but I think that’s more of an indictment on their basic humanity, than a keen assessment of the benefits.
