A few days ago, I asked about how the U.S. government shutdown affects people’s daily lives, and I received many thoughtful replies. It made me realize how little I actually knew, and I’m truly grateful to everyone who shared their insights. ❤️❤️
前几天，我问了关于美国政府停摆如何影响人们日常生活的问题，收到了很多有见地的回复。这让我意识到自己对此了解甚少，我真的很感谢所有分享他们见解的人。❤️❤️
Among those responses, I discovered something striking, there are about 42 million Americans, roughly 12% of the population, who rely on SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) just to eat.
在这些回复中，我发现了一个惊人的事实，大约有 4200 万美国人，约占人口的 12%，仅仅依靠 SNAP（补充营养援助计划）来维持生计。
This made me see a deeper issue in the U.S. labor market: wages are not keeping up with the rising cost of living.
这让我看到了美国劳动力市场一个更深层次的问题：工资增长跟不上生活成本的上涨。
What kind of contradictions and economic divide lie behind this growing gap between the wealthy and the working class?
在这日益扩大的贫富差距背后，隐藏着怎样的矛盾和经济鸿沟？
