Utah ends reduced-price school meals for kids, making them free instead
Utah ends reduced-price school meals for kids, making them free instead. Here’s who is eligible.
Had us in the first half, not gonna lie.
Mormons definitely deserve a lot of the bad rap they get, what with the overbearing patriarchal whatever they've got going. But they can usually be counted on to feed people.
Ah, didn't know that. Cool.
My brain auto completed it to say making them starve instead.
Lol. Brain be funny sometimes.
Felt the same way too. In fact I think there was a subreddit dedicated to something like "first line/sentence" and thus there should/must be a Community for it by now.
Yeah, I think so too. Can't remember the name either, it's been a while.
You got me in the first half, ngl
"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.
Just a reminder that the LDS Church has $206 Billion in the bank.
A church. $206 Billion.
They also own 2.7% of private land in Florida and 1 in every 550 acres of private land in the U.S.:
Also a reminder that "Mormon porn" is an incredibly popular genre on Pornhub.
The show American Primeval was the beginning, they showed how they ripped people/towns/indians apart for that land under government control by Brigham young. True or not, I'd believe it given their stake today.
Joseph Smith, the Jesus Christ of Mormonism, was killed by an angry mob who stormed a prison he was being held in to execute him for scamming them.
Yeah but they've got to save it for the apocalypse...for some reason.
Because Jesus said "thou who dost make the most money wins."
I wonder if that’s why mitt Romney ran in 2012.
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.
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
Richest country… for now
Can't wait for school lunch debt to become non dischargeable in bankruptcy
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.
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
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
Sort of. Our leadership have been doing some incredibly sketchy things lately and are very buddy-buddy with Trump.
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.
Same, literally a gasp then a sigh of relief as I read the headline
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.
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.
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.
Utah. White people helping white people 🤍
Imagine children getting free lunches and you still manage to make it about: "ARF THEM EVIL WHITE PEOPLE!!!!11"
Got outside, lunatic.
Cracker please. /s
Spicy response, I know, but "it's always about evil white people"?
Nuh-uh, not going there.
Love to see it.
Damn, fhe first half of that headline had me thinking something very different
Finally, good news out of Utah.
had us in the first half
I totally ate the Onion on the first half...
!lemmysilver
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.
