meanwhile Florida ponders whether children in the mines should be fed
It makes me sad I wasn’t expecting this headline from Utah whatsoever when starting to read it but I’m glad it’s positive in the end
Same, literally a gasp then a sigh of relief as I read the headline
Utah is a little weird in that they aren’t so Mich maga as much as they are Mormon, they have progressive politics when it just so happens to suit the church’s needs
Yeah that’s a good point. Mormons are still weird to me but I’ve known some and they are pretty chill people for the most part and pretty rational about stuff. Much, much easier to hang around than fucking southern baptists and can even be fun. I smoke a lot of weed and they never partook but never cared so I always thought that was cool
Churches are frequently wayy more progressive than the State.
Not in America
Sort of. Our leadership have been doing some incredibly sketchy things lately and are very buddy-buddy with Trump.
That this is a state-level thing tells you just how much Democrats suck.
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.
The Republicans are awful people too.
That’s the point I’m making.
Your point was not clear. You sound like a maga, or one of those “undecided,” who are decidedly worse.
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.
That is SOCIALISM and I cant WAIT for My Republican Representative to FIGHT to OVERTURN this NONSENSE!
-Republicans who have NO PROBLEM giving BILLIONS of Their Tax Dollars to Elon Musk!
A person claimed to me today that Leon paid it all back. Argued the point until everyone within hearing distance laughed.
You got me in the first half, ngl
for mormon children only
And no minorities in that picture.
Richest country in the history of the planet, and we have “lunch debt” for kids in school.
Well yeah, how are we going to get rich if we aren’t taking money from 5 year olds?
More like Pro-Life-Debts amiright?
Actually tho. Conservative politicians be pushing that pro-life shit cause of religion but also because they want to maintain their cheap labor force that they’ve sold the idea of “freedom” to
Maybe those 5 year olds should get a second job and skip the avocado toast.
And making them work to repay it!
We can’t bailout lunch kids, what about my meth addiction debt? Nobody helped me. BOoTsTrApS!
They held my high school diploma for 6 months because I had $20 dollar deficit.
They never got the money because my dad threatened a lawsuit.
My school held someone’s diploma to the max legal limit (like 6 months) because they did a twirl when walking on stage to get the fake diploma case thing.
Many US schools are more oppressive than some other country’s prisons
Can’t wait for school lunch debt to become non dischargeable in bankruptcy
Richest country… for now

They’re playing the long game here.
1st remove fluoride from municipal water sources, kids start getting more cavities.
2nd give free lunches.
3rd kids stop eating their free lunches due to the pain of their cavities.
4th State government proclaims they’ve done such a tremendous job with the economy that kids aren’t eating and needing free meals anymore, so they are removing them from the budget.
/s
Remove the /s cause this is pretty much on the money.
Love to see it.
“They had us in the first half I’m not gonna lie”
Dude for real. Seeing Utah and school lunches in the same sentence had me worried.
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.
Finally, good news out of Utah.
That’s a nice start, but it needs to be free for all kids, like at least my state

Yeah, there no god damned reason K-12 lunch shouldn’t be free. Fucking bonkers to add another line item to people’s budgets. Especially now.
Damn, fhe first half of that headline had me thinking something very different
