This should be a billboard. It would perfectly reach the kind of people who need to see this.
And in the background lurks the frozen food supply company that graciously feeds the children and prisoners of the United States.
Then the guy on the right stands outside the school while a shooter methodically murders all the students because he’s scared
Well, at least now the cops are fully equipped to go into those schools and body slam 14-year-olds for using the F word.
My wife has been a school kitchen manager for a number of years. Lunch debt is such bullshit. We funded free school meals for all students for a year during covid and it cost $10 billion. We could have funded school lunches for many years just with what we’ve sent to the Ukraine. We don’t have it because we have no way to influence the people we elect to do the things we value. It is clearly not something our elected representatives value.
While I’m definitely in favour of funding school lunches, and agree it should be trivial to find that in the budget, you need to understand that kids can’t eat the aging military equipment that’s being sent to help Ukraine defend themselves, crippling a hostile dictatorship with equipment that would otherwise mostly be scrapped.
