## Resource

New rules are slashing government food aid for adults not working or volunteering — but experts warn it could backfire without job support. California’s CalFresh program braces for a surge of 20,000–30,000 new applicants as food banks scramble to adapt. While the goal is to spur employment, success hinges on real help — job training, placement, and transitional work — which is currently lacking. With a 90-day grace period before cuts kick in, the full impact won’t be clear for up to 15 months. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
