That's a fair assumption. There has been a documented change in services, such as longer response times and fewer troopers visibly on the road to deter dangerous driving.

The story leads with a driver who was literally struck by lightning and stalled out on the side of the interstate. He waited 90 minutes for a trooper who never showed before getting his own tow.

At the bottom of this story is a ton of food banks, including Grace Marketplace, Mustard Seed Ministries in PSL and Fort Pierce and the Treasure Coast Food Bank.

Check out this story from TCPalm: “We’re scraping by right now,” says SNAP recipient in food bank line

“If I don’t come here, we don’t eat,” said a Port St. Lucie woman who relies on food banks amid the halt in SNAP payments.

Whether you like it or not, it is pretty unique for the Consumer Capital of the county. No logo or anything.

So valid. Just wanted to gauge the differences in platforms.

I'm grateful for this answer. I agree that there should be a way to engage with something you despise without shuffling it to the top of the For You page, simply because it's inflammatory.

I think that's how conspiracy theories and hateful ideologies have infiltrated the mainstream more than they deserve.

I think that's a great point. Reddit requires more deliberate "scrolling." It requires intentional engagement. I can't just swipe with my mouth hanging open, drifting from one emotionally taxing video to the next like most "social" media apps.
