Governor Tim Walz of Minnesota signs a law guaranteeing free breakfast and lunch for hungry children, while Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders of Arkansas signs of law easing regulations on child labor. Nobody should think elections don’t matter.

If the government gives free lunch to some children, they should give it to all. That's equal protection. Now who pays for it? Equal benefits, equal burdens.

I mean... Not that I disagree. But this reeks of PR bullshit, and I don't feel like he deserves cookies for it. It's amazing that he's doing the bar minimum. And thankfully the children don't get starved, now. But what happens a few months or a year down the line?

After you read what each law does, what are the negatives and positives of each?

There is dignity in work, dependence in freebies.

This is the same Tim Walz who used the National Guard to shoot rubber bullets in people’s faces on their front porches in 2020, right? 🤔

The key part is getting rid of means testing.
