I've been saying, "oh well" at just about every headline I've read in the past three months as a coping mechanism, but this one caught me off guard. I definitely expected Utah to charge kids full-price. Glad to hear they're looking out for kids.

Mormons kinda give a shit about their communities

Good foreign policies too. They fought in court to pay less taxes because they dont pay for any war.

Imagine children getting free lunches and you still manage to make it about: "ARF THEM EVIL WHITE PEOPLE!!!!11"

Got outside, lunatic.

Cracker please. /s

Spicy response, I know, but "it's always about evil white people"?

Nuh-uh, not going there.

That this is a state-level thing tells you just how much Democrats suck.

[–] blakenong@lemmings.world 8 points 3 days ago (2 children)

And how awesome republicans are? Let’s look at all the policies in schools on average and decide. This is a great move by Utah, but I doubt the right wing Utahans pushed this.

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

The Republicans are awful people too.

That's the point I'm making.

[–] blakenong@lemmings.world 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Your point was not clear. You sound like a maga, or one of those “undecided,” who are decidedly worse.

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world -2 points 3 days ago (2 children)

My point was exceedingly clear.

If Democrats did their job at the federal level, student lunch debt wouldn't exist. Instead, they're helping Israel run an apartheid.

You just didn't understand it.

There's more than those two right parties. Take off your blinders and look around, will you?

Maybe watch an election cycle in Canada or Mexico to see how blinded you are.
