And that should start with the parents. If ya can’t feed them then don’t breed them. Parents should not rely on the government to feed their kids. Especially if parents are physically able to work. Today’s society is absolutely fucked in thinking it’s normal to reply on the government for anything.
Yeah, fuck municipal garbage pick up, sewers, water treatment, highways, and food inspectors! FUCK EM AAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLAAAAARRGHGHGABBAKBKLLLABABAAAARGH!!!!!!
It sounds like they got rid of the food inspectors. It’s like almost every public service except for the police.
We should probably require the government to regulate the economy enough so ann average worker cannot afford to feed their kids. Unfortunately, the government can only regulate the economy in a way that puts money directly back into Donald Trump‘s pockets.
Wouldn't it be remarkable if we lived lives so linearly predictable that we could plan like that? Surely there's never been a person that's had children and then ran into employment or financial challenges afterwards. It's so far fetched it's hard to imagine!
I’ve ran into both of those problems. Never have I had to rely on the government to feed my kids.
Did you not send your kids to a public school with government lunches? The government subsidize like 1/3 of your children’s meals for most of their lives.
I'm grateful that you didn't have to go through greater hardship. In a community there are times we have to rely on each other and government can be a medium for that. I hope for a future where we can do more for those in need, collectively. When we lift them, we lift everyone.
And yet you used government roads to drive to the grocery store. If you were truly self reliant you would've cut your own path through the woods.
You just like get all of the world's problems don't you. You have it all figured out. Thank God you were here to set us all straight.
If my podunk, backwoods, barely made it through high school ass can figure it out and make it then yeah, anyone should be able to.
Thats why I'm glad you were here. You set us all straight. Nobody was getting it until you got here and told us all the answers.
Charlie Kirk also told people that birth control was dangerous though. He doesn't want the government to feed kids but also spreads beliefs that would make people have kids.
Ok? I don’t mean to sound insensitive but I really don’t care. The guy is dead. Regardless of what Charlie said, my original comment is my opinion and not swayed by the opinion of him nor anyone else.
Ok.
You have an hours-old account and are arguing in favor harming children while dropping rightist rhyme-chants instead of applying any manner logic, reasoning, reality, or empathy.
We are all going to assume you are another MAGA troll. I do not think the fediverse is the right place for you. This sounds harsh because it is. I am not trying to be uncivil, but we really do not have a lot of patience for hate, ignorance, contempt of the misfortunate, or other sick, rightist vices here.
Absolutely, the troglodytes can stay in their caves!
The bait isn't even good anymore lmao
You’d lose that bet.
