Only in America do we freely without question give billions away for no reason at all to companies already making billions in profit, but somehow find it a controversial subject whether or not we should feed hungry children.
When schools offer universal free meals, hungry kids eat. They also have better academic performance, behavior, attendance, and psychosocial functioning. These benefits should be available to all — with no questions asked, and no such thing as lunch debt. jacobin.com/2023/03/universa…

Let's be specific here! This is more progressive bullshit!

Maybe it's true that we only question that in America. Only in America would I say, "If you can't afford a kid, don't have a kid." You had your kid(s); now pay for their lunches. Don't pawn it off on the taxpayer. Step up like an adult and fulfill your responsibility.

Pleeeease don't run for president again. It's a disaster for liberals. Leave your ego at home. Work for a qualified candidate instead. We are begging you.

You can't afford kids don't have them.

If we did not support companies organizing labor and efficiency with profits as a motive we would fall back into the dark ages of mass chaos, famine, atrocities imaginable

Now, if we could find a marketable way to feed children, like fattening them up to sell them as healthy alternatives to lab grown meat, then we might be able to kill two geese with one stone.
Replying to @marwilliamson
Especially when you see what they actually feed them. They should be paying the kids for making them eat that crap, not the other way around.
