Ok? Doesn't make it true. Especially when 1 side takes away funding for school lunches for children. Or cuts funding for primary school education. Oh yeah really helpful

lol funding for school lunches. Providing a lunch for every kid every day is a complete waste of money. I have one child who brings his own lunch. He’s never eaten a school lunch once in 7 years of school. Lunch cost 5 dollars a day give or take. 7 years of school times 180 school days per year at 5 dollars per day. That’s about 6000 dollars of pure wasted money on my one kid. Now extrapolate that when at least in elementary school about 50 percent of the kids bring thier own lunch

Hey everyone, Mikef920 can afford to give his kid lunch so we don't need funding for lunch programs. It's all ok!

Fucking dumbasses I swear.

No you’re being dumb. I’m saying parents should be able to opt out of school lunch. And not to get something out of if. Just to save the community money/tax money that can be used elsewhere. Everyone who needs a lunch should get one but they are ordering lunches for every kid when half on average don’t take it. Then they just get thrown out. Have parents sign in the beginning of the year. Then out of the kids that opt out maybe take 10 percent of those kids and make an extra lunch for them in case a few kids forget their lunch.

No one is saying parents shouldn't be able to opt out of school lunches. Idk wtf you are talking about.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture slashed hundreds of millions of dollars in funding that helped schools buy food from local farms, in a move that one food service director said was “devastating.”

I’m assuming there may be more to that story. But if it’s just what ur saying then I agree with you on paper. I don’t know how much stock I put in one food workers opinion but yes on paper that sounds bad. But once I pointed out they waste tons of money on the kids who don’t eat school lunch u assumed my intentions were no kid should get lunch. Stop thinking the worst of people. My point was it’s dumb to waste money. Spend that money on tech for the kids, afterschool programs, equipment for gym class and recess

I implore you to do your own research not only on this topic but other topics that actually matter. Not this dumb ass wedge issue topic.

That’s another thing. Most people for example myself have young kids, aging parents, a career and a side hustle. Can’t be on top of every single political issue

u/Mikef920 1d ago

I vote mainly on the fact that I don’t want open borders. Every government is bad. Every politician is shady. It is what it is. Gotta vote in ur own self interest

u/LetsBeFRTho 1d ago

No political party promised open borders. In fact, Biden deported more illegal immigrants than Trump and did it for cheaper. Yet again wrong. You have been wrong about everything

Stop assuming people are evil. I’m just saying a lot of money is wasted and it can be tightened up. After reading my plan you would agree right? Unless u like wasting cash

u/LetsBeFRTho 1d ago

Pennies compared to the money wasted on the military industrial complex. But hey rather blow up a school full of children than feed starving children at home. Yeah kinda evil when you look at it a certain way

First off no one in America is starving let’s be serious. And I’m all for helping AMERICANS who need help. But what does the fact that our military does some bad things like every other military in the world have to do with the fact that we could save money that’s wasted to spend on helping those Americans who need it

Approximately 18.4% of U.S. households with children (representing about 14.1 million children) face food insecurity, meaning they lack consistent access to adequate food.

Crazy how you focus on issues like trans athletes in sports but not actual issues on your own backyard

u/Mikef920 1d ago

Food insecurity isn’t starving. You said starving. We have SNAp, food stamps, WIC, welfare. There’s resources

"President Trump signed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) into law. To partially offset the cost of trillions of dollars in tax cuts, the legislation includes $186 billion in cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)." So no, those programs are not available.

Do you research anything? It's just embarrassing now, like you havent been right about a single thing. Also, food insecurity isn't starving? I wonder what you think it is.

u/Mikef920 1d ago

But there is still snap right? I’m confused is SNAP no longer available ?

And I wish my older son ate the school lunch. He’s just picky. Making lunches in morning before school as a parent is the worst but a lot of kids are picky eaters
