The company that is supplying \u200bthe meals that end up in the garbage, medical\u200d services company DocGo, won its lucrative deal with a no-bid \u200dcontract worth a whopping $432 million from the city.\u2063 And they had no experience at all\u2062 in food preparation and distribution, which is unfortunately an unsurprising fact.<\/p>\n<p>According to the \u200dTimes, DocGo is paid $33 for every migrant they <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/illegals-aliens-taking-thanksgiving-turkeys-low-income-nyc-residents\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">provide a meal<\/a> for and has roughly 4,000 illegals they are responsible for serving.<\/p>\n<p>But instead of feeding\u2062 people, DocGo has reported that an incredible 70,000 meals have been thrown away just between Oct. 22 and Nov. 10.<\/p>\n<p>That means the company has wasted $776,000 in food just during that \u200dtime alone.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, as DocGo and the city of New York continue to waste tons of food, one \u200cin seven Americans are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/bidenomics-food-banks-fight-meet-demand-1-7-people-struggles-food-insecurity\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">struggling<\/a> with food insecurity in Joe Biden\u2019s era, \u2062according to the federal Department \u2062of Agriculture\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ers.usda.gov\/webdocs\/publications\/107703\/err-325_summary.pdf?v=7119.9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Household Food \u200cInsecurity Report<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The number of Americans struggling to put\u2063 food\u2063 on their tables rose from 10.2 percent in\u2062 2021 to 12.8 percent in 2022, an increase of 3.5 million \u2064households.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">HUNGER BLAME: Bidenomics Causing Food Insecurity Explosion, \u200c10 Million Hungry Under Joe <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/AbmNlqKqyJ\">https:\/\/t.co\/AbmNlqKqyJ<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014  ERIC BOLLING  (@ericbolling) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ericbolling\/status\/1717989122197926174?\">October 27, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Not only\u200c is America suffering an increased rate of \u2064food insecurity in this odious <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/kari-lake-talk-turkey-bidenomics-dud\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Biden era<\/a>, but the rate of \u200dhomelessness has also exploded since Biden took office.

The fact that DocGo, a company with no experience in food preparation and distribution, \u200dwas awarded a no-bid contract worth $432 \u200bmillion\u2062 is highly \u2064concerning.\u2064 It raises questions about accountability, oversight, and transparency in the awarding of government contracts.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the number of Americans facing food insecurity is on the rise.

It is hypocritical to\u200b ask citizens to bear the burden of these cuts while taxpayer dollars are being wasted on uneaten meals for illegal immigrants.<\/p>\n<p>The\u2064 outrage expressed by City Councilwoman Gale Brewer and\u2063 Councilwoman\u2064 Julie Won\u200c is justified. The lack of oversight and accountability in administering these food contracts is a \u2062systemic failure that \u200bneeds\u2063 to be addressed urgently.<\/p>\n<p>It is \u200ccrucial for government officials to prioritize the needs of their constituents\u2062 and ensure that taxpayer dollars are \u2063utilized effectively and efficiently.\u200d This includes \u2062a thorough \u2062evaluation of \u200dgovernment contracts and the implementation of measures to prevent wasteful spending and food waste.<\/p>\n<p>The plight\u200c of American \u2062citizens facing food insecurity \u2062and the increasing rate of homelessness cannot be ignored. It is\u2062 essential for government officials\u2063 to address these pressing issues and \u2063allocate resources appropriately to support those in need.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, the revelation of food waste amounting\u2062 to millions of dollars while citizens face budget cuts is \u2064a stark reminder\u2063 of the inefficiencies and mismanagement within government agencies.\u200d It is imperative \u2062for accountability, oversight, and transparency to be prioritized in order to address\u200d these issues\u200b effectively and ensure that taxpayer dollars are utilized responsibly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>York Post, much of this food is going to waste.
