Squatting in soviet prison culture.
Squatting was necessary in the overcrowded
Communist prisons
Gopniks are often seen squatting in groups "in court" (на кортах, na kortakh) or "doing the crab" (на крабе, na krabe) outside blocks of flats or schools with their heels on the ground. It is described as a learned behavior, attributed to Russian and Soviet prison culture to avoid sitting on the cold ground.

It is the sad consequence of inhuman and ethically depraved individuals LIKE YOU coming to power, Chicken Head...
...and justify their crimes as necessary for a "greater good" (their own, of course).

Damn, if they are also paying me to attract fools like you to this thread, so that even if it is based on memes for brainless people, it always remains in the most visible part of the forum...
And what organization pays you?
...Surely the Ministry of Defense; the minister is a little clueless...
GAZA WAR
Margarita Robles calls the Israeli offensive in Gaza a “genuine genocide”
The Minister of Defense, the first socialist member of the Government to use this term, says that the recognition of the Palestinian State is a “bet on peace”

The Minister of Defense, Margarita Robles, stated this Saturday that “what is happening in Gaza” is “an “authentic genocide”, a term that until now had not been uttered by the socialist members of the Government,

Más País - Wikipedia
Robles' words come in the midst of a diplomatic crisis with Israel, which called its ambassador to Spain for consultations after Pedro Sánchez announced that the Council of Ministers on May 28 will approve the recognition of the Palestinian State.
The military offensive launched by Israel in the Gaza Strip - in retaliation for the Hamas terrorist attack on October 7 - has already killed more than 35,000 people, according to the Gaza Ministry of Health, a territory controlled by Hamas.
Unicef, the United Nations agency that works to defend the rights of children, estimates that almost half of those fatalities were children.
Robles spoke about the conflict during an interview on TVE before the military parade in Oviedo (Asturias) to mark Armed Forces Day, which was presided over by the King and Queen. “Spain is always very supportive of what is happening in the world. We cannot forget that people are dying in Ukraine, it is a tremendous war, nor ignore what is happening in Gaza, which is a real genocide,” she said. She added: “The recognition of the Palestinian State is a commitment to peace, a commitment to the coexistence of two States. And I think that we have to look at it in a positive light. This is not against the State of Israel, this is not against the Israelites, who are people we respect. This is a commitment to ending the violence in Gaza.”

The minister has stated that she does not fear that cooperation between the respective intelligence services to fight jihadist terrorism will cease due to the position of Pedro Sánchez's Government on Palestine. “We all have common objectives, which is the fight against terrorism. One issue is the diplomatic or political aspects. But in what is the fight against terrorism, in which we are all involved, I am sure that we will all continue working,” she responded.
Until now, the socialist wing of the Government had avoided using the term “genocide” to refer to Israel’s military attack on Gaza. For example, in an interview on La Sexta last week, the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, described Israel’s offensive as an “inhuman response”. “Would you describe what is happening in Gaza as genocide?” the presenter asked him directly. “I have my own particular view,” the head of the Executive responded. “Do you agree with that word?” the journalist insisted. “Let’s see… Are human rights being respected in Gaza? I have my serious doubts. In any case, it is the International Criminal Court and the International Court of Justice that have to clarify it. Obviously, I have my serious doubts, as does any objective analyst when seeing what is happening in Gaza: the indiscriminate death of civilians, women, children, girls… The unparalleled destruction of Gaza, which will lead to a reconstruction situation that will take decades,” the leader of the PSOE avoided.
The Israeli Embassy in Madrid has expressed its regret on social media that the Minister of Defense “has adopted the false and unfounded narrative of the terrorist organization Hamas” and has reiterated that Israel “is fighting in Gaza in accordance with international law” in a war “that it did not start nor want” against “a cruel enemy,” which is holding 125 Israelis hostage.
Tensions between Spain and Israel have been increasing over the weeks.
And they have multiplied, above all, after Sánchez announced the imminent recognition of the Palestinian State.
As a result, Israel recalled its ambassador to Spain, Rodica Radian-Gordon , for consultations , and summoned the Spanish ambassador to Tel Aviv, Ana María Sálomon, to reprimand her.
Then, the clash went up another notch.
The Israeli Foreign Minister, Israel Katz, announced the decision to “prohibit the Spanish consulate in Jerusalem from providing services to Palestinians” in the "West Bank" (Cisjordania).
He did so after Vice President Yolanda Díaz used the phrase “from the river to the sea” in a video supporting Palestine.
These words refer to the controversial slogan that is subject to different interpretations, alluding to the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea, which today include the State of Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories: Gaza, "the West Bank" (Cisjordania) and East Jerusalem.

Biden mobilizes $8 billion to end hunger in the US by 2030
Washington, Sep 28, 2022 (EFE) :In the United States, some 34 million people, including five million children, suffer from food insecurity.
President Joe Biden promised to end this situation by 2030, and he has mobilized $8 billion in public and private funds to do so.
The promise was made at the first White House conference on Hunger, Nutrition and Health since 1969, when Republican President Richard Nixon took up the cause by promoting legislation such as the School Breakfast Program at a similar meeting.
“Since then, advances in research and medicine have taught us much more about nutrition and health. I am convening this conference again today because I believe we can use those advances to make America a stronger, healthier nation,” Biden said.
In 2021, according to data from the Department of Agriculture, 10.2% of households in the country experienced food insecurity at some point during the year, a percentage similar to that of 2020. And in households with children under 18 years of age, that figure rose to 12.5%, although in some cases only adults were affected.
The presidential strategy to reduce these figures is based on three pillars: facilitating citizens' access to food that keeps their families healthy, offering the necessary information to be able to choose healthy diets and promoting physical exercise.
“The good news is that we have already created a good foundation for this,” Biden said at a meeting that included Spanish chef José Andrés as a final guest and included senators, representatives of NGOs and state agencies dedicated to this work.
In any country and in any state in the United States, the president added, if a parent cannot feed his or her children, “nothing else matters.”
In the US, the worst-affected state is Mississippi: One in six people, including one in five children, is going hungry, according to data from the organization Feeding America, which distributes food in that area.
Lack of jobs and healthy food is to blame, Charles Beady, executive director of the Mississippi Food Network, a food bank that operates in 56 counties and which in 2021 delivered 42.6 tons of food, 12.6 more than the previous year, as a result of the pandemic, told Efe.
Organizations like hers are part of the solution, but ending hunger and malnutrition requires a collective effort, she warned. “It is possible, but national will is needed. We are the richest nation on Earth. We have all kinds of resources. It is a matter of rolling up our sleeves and getting down to it.”
Wednesday's conference saw pledges of $8 billion in public and private funding, of which at least $2.5 billion will be invested in startups offering innovative solutions to hunger and food insecurity and some $4 billion to philanthropy that improves access to nutritious food and promotes healthy choices.
Organizations such as the Food Industry Association have pledged to mobilize their partners to donate 2 billion meals to food banks by 2023, and others such as Google have pledged to launch new tools that will help Americans access health services and public food programs.
Warner Bros. Discovery will provide 600 million meals to food-insecure children by September 2023, and The Wave Foundation will improve coordination between producers and distributors to foster a more sustainable food system.
“Everyone has a role to play at the local, state, territorial and tribal levels. And I firmly believe that the work ahead should be bipartisan. (…) We are the United States. Nothing beats us when we work together,” Biden concluded. EFE

Hunger in the United States
STAFFTOPIC: HUNGER
HUNGER IN THE UNITED STATES FACT SHEETU.S. HUNGER FACT SHEET
Ver Página en Español
Here in the United States, few children are severely malnourished, but many families worry about their next meal or regularly run out of grocery money. Collectively, the world already grows enough food to feed everyone, and the U.S. government has the power and resources to make a historic impact on hunger. That is why Bread and our partners work tirelessly to urge our nation’s decision-makers to prioritize policies and programs that will end hunger.
In 2022, 12.8 percent of all U.S. households were food insecure. This includes 7.7 percent with “low food security” and 5.1 percent with “very low food security.” These increases were largely due to the end of pandemic assistance programs including the expanded Child Tax Credit and increased access and benefits in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC). Inflation and rising food prices are also contributing factors.
Food insecurity is more common in rural areas. In 2022, it affected 14.7 percent of rural households, or 2.7 million families. Although urban areas have a lower rate of food insecurity, at 12.5 percent, this adds up to a much larger number of families—14.3 million—since urban areas are more populous.
Black and Latino households experienced food insecurity at more than twice the rate of white households in 2022, at 22.4 percent and 20.8 percent, respectively.

SOURCE: USDA (2023). Household Food Security in the United States in 2022 (Report No. ERR-325):
https://www.ers.usda.gov/publications/pub-details/?pubid=107702.
In households with very low food security—more than one in 20 U.S. households—there were times during the year that people’s food intake was reduced and their normal eating patterns were disrupted because the household lacked money for food. Of households with very low food security:
- 98 percent worried that their food would run out before they had money to buy more.
- 97 percent found that the food they bought just did not last, and they did not have money to get more.
- 96 percent could not afford to eat balanced meals.
- 96 percent skipped meals or ate less because there was not enough money for food.
- 65 percent had been hungry but did not eat because they could not afford enough food.
- 29 percent did not eat for a whole day because there was not enough money for food.

Here potatoes are food for lowest social class, at risk of entering severe poverty, that still remain to be rescued from social misery inherited from Capitalism...
My family is already lower-middle class, and we are more of rice "with things"...:
(Vaaaale, prim@s; ya sé que es una fideuá, pero pa' un Cabezapollo que creé que lo del McDonals es carne, que mismo dará...)
Although as happens in every family and political-economic-social system, not always everything is perfect in our little Marxist family paradise... and sometimes we also make mistakes in our Plans...
(...and thank goodness that grandmother, who did go hungry during the Capitalist Dictatorship, she is a good farsighted planner, and put aside the seafood before...; What a good Minister of Economic Forecast for the country, we have lost...)
Luckily we have plenty of stoicism resilence, and the phrase "more was lost in the Cuban War"...
NOTE: Where it says "problems", replace it with "fools".
Well nothing. Pragmatism, adaptation to reality, and "real politic":
Let's leave the paella and the fools on the floor for the dogs, and like Los Sólo los Solo sings, a good stew of humble chickpeas with wine from La Mancha or rum from the Canary Islands, and a good nap...:
'" ...Damn,
you're nothing more than a peeled chicken!
In the little hands of this burned matador :
Olé, quillo, ta queda'o, ¡vaya estillo!
(...)
Realize, look at us, we're all from here
And listen to us, feel us, and try to correct us...
But never again will we let you say
That there's nothing good here, nothing fresh
(...)
We are the eyes that have always watched your imbecilities
Watched, we have read and listened to your idiocies
You screwed up, you have underestimated us...:
You think you're the smartest
While you continue "by our side" to..:
ha ha! Look how I...
he he! ...laught in your face...
hii hii! ...while you...
hojo! ..."you shake my...", calm and...
juju! ...without you realizing it :
Cururrucu, white dove;
Come and look out;
what's up, peeled ckicken? :
Come on; water for your potatoes...""
