Comment on Most American headline

Kids go to public school during lunchtime. Public school feeds the children lunch (something with real nutritional value that we would all want our kids eating). Kids do not pay for this. That’s it. There should be no further discussion here. If you disagree with this I want to put my thumb into your eye socket in the worst way. It’s so fucked up this is even a topic of discussion.
Trump’s new spending bill is providing $2 trillion tax cut for the richest among us. They already pay only 8% on average, but they own the politicians and are demanding to pay even less.
How are we supposed to pay for that if we don’t rob children of their school lunches?!
Spending less money bombing children in other places would give us more than enough funds, but that helps funnel money to the aforementioned richest among us, so that’s not going to happen.
Yep that’s right, $8 billion in the new bill for Israel to continue massacring children and stealing their ancestral land.
Israel First policy is an American notion I’ll never understand. Israel is the biggest terrorist nation-state in the world right now, nobody commits war crimes and other high crimes against humanity at the rate Israel does. It’s so sad to see them dog walking American leaders every day but here we are.
They need them to breed the other terrorists they like to bomb.
How dare you invest in the future? Our potential future tax base needs to learn how to starve or go into debt - those are the most important lessons in the good old US of fucking A.
Invest in the future? But how will that affect today’s profits?

This is unfair. You should want to put both thumbs into both eye sockets.
I agree with that kids should be fed, but what’s wrong with homemade sandwiches? That’s what is the norm in NL and if kids don’t have them theaters notice it and will work on fixing it while given them food.
The shit we had at most schools I went to was well kinda unhealthy crap.
Nothing wrong. Bring it and eat it. But if you’re kid and you don’t, school should feed you. In the US kids are legally required to attend school. Forcing someone to be somewhere and not providing sustenance is not allowed in war or prison, damn well should not be allowed in schools.

As long as you don’t go all Jamie Oliver about it.
CHICKEN NUGGETS ARE DIRTY AND FOR THE POORS

They’re the future of our country and society, and legally required to be there, but we won’t feed them.

There are other countries where kids bring their own lunch. We always make sandwiches and a snack for our kids to bring to school.
I do think school-provided lunches are a great idea and if done right, would guarantee every kid equal access to healthy nutrition. Unfortunately we don’t have that in NL, and clearly the powers that be don’t want it in the US either.
But punishing kids for lunch debt is nuts. That’s absolutely a symptom of the US wanting everybody to live in debt.

Wasn’t it last year schools were throwing kid’s bagged lunches away? So then they force the kids to eat a school lunch or starve, then blame the parents. This is just the next illogical step of the grift.

Throwing kids’ lunch away should be illegal. What if s kid has special dietary requirements? But if a school does throw it away, they have an obligation to provide a free punch that’s at least as good.
