We know what’s coming and we are prepared.
Guess who is the biggest beneficiary of the U.S Farm Bill? Is it farmers??? NO.
It’s Walmart. Take a look:
“When people think of the U.S. Farm Bill, they usually picture money going to farmers. But the truth is, most of that money actually goes to food assistance programs like SNAP (the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program), which helps low-income families buy groceries.
Here’s where it gets interesting:
Walmart—the biggest grocery store chain in the country—gets a huge amount of that money.
Out of all the stores where people use SNAP, Walmart gets 25.8% of those dollars. Kroger gets 8.4%, and Albertsons gets 5.9%.
Now, look at the big picture:
The 2023 Farm Bill will cost $1.51 trillion over 10 years.
About 81% of that (or $1.223 trillion) goes to SNAP.
Walmart’s share—25.8% of $1.223 trillion—adds up to around $315.5 billion.
That means Walmart ends up with about 20% of the entire farm bill budget—even though it’s not a farm.
So even though the Farm Bill is supposed to support agriculture, the biggest single beneficiary is actually a giant retail company: Walmart.”

It is very early. The kind of early where grief still hasn’t had its coffee and hope is absolutely not scheduled yet. The women go to the tomb carrying spices because when someone you love dies, you do the next right thing. You don’t expect miracles. You expect maintenance. You expect a body. You expect final.
They do not get final.
The stone is rolled away. The tomb is empty. And somewhere nearby, a group of guards is having the worst workday review in Roman history. Imagine being paid to guard death itself and then having to explain to your supervisor that, yes sir, the grave escaped. One minute you’re standing there with a spear, the next minute an angel shows up like lightning, the ground shakes, and you wake up realizing the thing you were guarding walked out. Career change imminent.
Two angels tell the women, "Why are you looking for the living among the dead". Which feels gentle until you realize it’s also Heaven saying, you’re shopping in the wrong aisle. He told you this. You ...
