To be clear, health should be a human right, housing should be a human right, food should be under health as a human right but let’s be serious it should be a separate human right so everyone has to acknowledge it.

You've just summed up article 25 of the universal declaration of human rights. The US is a signatory to it - but it's not legally binding.

That’s why they signed it. It’s not binding so what does it matter?

I mean the US has taught me that being an ancom is the right path. I wish they had any support for what they actually preach being a good thing but I’m not into it. And I once signed my life away thinking it was right.. mistakes were made man.

(In fairness, I come from a conservative area, so I’m not against people, I just want what’s best for everyone, even if they don’t recognize it as a good thing yet.)

My response to what you wrote in your parentheses: I know exactly how you feel man.
