This is the problem with everything in the US. We don't settle on anything or finish the argument. We're just stuck in an endless cycle of debate and argument rather than using knowledge and understanding to just answer the fucking question. Like trans rights and abortion is simply about body autonomy, or health insurance and wages is about ensuring a better more stable economy and healthier population. Instead we endlessly argue culture, religion, and price rather than progress and dividends through our actions. It's infuriating but how do we change it?
While I understand the sentiment, I think it’s a little over the top despairing. Kids DO get free lunch and breakfast where I live. The district and parents banded together to even make sure this continued all throughout COVID.
“Where I live” is the best I can do. I can’t guarantee it gets done everywhere. But I also don’t want to act like nothing ever gets done anywhere. While you’re cursing the darkness, a lot of people are out there lighting candles.
Same here. Free lunches for all …. And there are still conservatives who actually proposed fingerprint readers to prevent any kid from getting extras. What. The. Fuck.
Eat the rich.
Many of the cyclical culture war issues are largely manufactured by those in power to divide us.
Remove those in power.
Educate people away from hyper individualism.
As for specifics, I'm not totally sure, but this seems a general good place to start.
We have free school lunches paid for by a new “millionaires tax”!
The mega rich "philanthropists" give a million dollars to some cause and they're hailed as generous. Like Bill Gates.
If he alone paid his taxes, we'd have 100 billion and this wouldn't even be a question: should we feed hungry school kids?
Fuck off with your philanthropy. Pay your fair share for benefitting from the system you helped make, you fucks.
Indeed. Culture, Politics, Religion, law and justice, end up becoming bad seeds in society because they get twisted to their extremes by the rich and powerful. Especially if you are religious. That bowing to authority in God makes it easier to just trust leadership without questioning that leaderships authority. We've created entire societies willing to fight inwards with each other because it is easier to trust and scapegoat than to question and be free.
