MD: create their own job

If you mean consulting, a great many do that. Unfortunately, it often means going without health insurance and watching your savings slowly dwindle, especially if you have family members to support.

MD: accept employment at a lower level job (or even better, jobs) to make ends meet until they find something better.

That's what many, many people are doing. Working two or more jobs. And many of those people are STILL having to go to food banks at the end of the month.

MD: start asking for charity

They are. See above. Those charities are swamped and cannot help everyone who comes to them.

md: learn that kudzu is edible, move to the rural south, and never know hunger again - maybe malnutrition, but certainly not hunger.

If the above is a joke, it's not a very funny one.

Do you know what malnutrition does to people? Especially to children?
