    Who out there is actually saying “children shouldn’t be fed”, for example? Fucking nobody, lol.

    I’m not even American and I know that plenty of people are saying this 🙄

    Here’s one example:

    Congress ended the free-lunch-for-all program in June

    Here’s another example:

    The Republican Study Committee (of which some three-quarters of House Republicans are members) on Wednesday released its desired 2024 budget, in which the party boldly declares its priority to eliminate the Community Eligibility Provision, or CEP, from the School Lunch Program. Why? Because “CEP allows certain schools to provide free school lunches regardless of the individual eligibility of each student.”

    Children who had access to food now don’t have the same access, thus “children shouldn’t be fed”.

    Fucking nobody, lol.

    You’re fucking callous.

      “There are plenty of people saying this”

      shows no one saying this, and does the exact kind of extrapolation and exaggeration I talked about

      Thanks for making my point for me.
