It's incredibly disappointing to see HN users flag these stories while the admin is directly admitting to starving people for political gain. It's something that directly and materially impacts me, a tax-paying citizen who has to now spend money out of my savings to support my parents so that they don't starve, who also paid taxes their entire life for these programs to exist and help them.
It's something I literally cannot put my head in the sand to ignore. I would strongly advise others do not ignore it either.
