You can say those 20M are fucked, and they are. Which is precisely where they were after Big Ugly passed.
But please don't forget that 40M people were going to go hungry.
Worse comes to worse govt shuts down on Jan30 and SNAP can't be used as hostages.

Also, there's another thing I considered.
IF they end the shutdown on a CR now though January, that may nullify Trump's plans to end mail in voting and the like, because states will be able to go the courts and say that it's an election year so they dont have the time to change their systems.

one thing Chicago did is use Little Free Libraries as an easy way to distribute flyers with info on how to use whistles to alert neighbors, how to organize, etc - those LFLs are all over Baltimore as well

All This Could Be Different, a novel about how the failures of individualism can be met with mutual aid, is a great tonic to this.
