Make em think their tax money is paying for “Ni–er food” and they’ll burn down the entire education system.
Hell, replace Nword with F-word or Kword honestly doesn’t matter.

Thank you, I was also confused by what the fuck the “K-word” could be. I think we could asterisk out a letter, so meaning is still conveyed, and the impact of the word might still be felt and understood.
I understand your reasoning but I can’t subacribe it.
A word is a word. A word becomes an insult if it is used against someone, with that specific intent.
I specifically used the quotation marks because I wanted to convey the understanding that I was putting the words out with no connection to anything.
Writing on a social media outlet feels more and more like walking through a trap field. Cryptic acronyms, forbidden and self censored words and redacted sentences.
This is the worst kind of censorship I can think of. It blocks the person and others from fully expressing ideas and thoughts and preassigns a default judgement towards who is trying to convey an argument.
The best way to void a word - especially if an insult - is to ignore it. Don’t use it, ignore it in others speech, attack the use of it as an insult.
By convincing them that their taxes shouldn’t come back to them in any way and should instead be used for a higher purpose. Corporation, that’s the higher purpose.
If you only identify yourself as being Republican because you consider yourself to be a conservative then I’ve got good news for you, no need to associate with the wackos, the US Democrats are the conservatives of the countries where there actually exists a political spectrum that extends further left than right of center 👍
Because this is a social good that results in ROI over decades. If something is not immediately profitable, it is difficult for the private market to be leveraged to find an optimal solution. Situations like that are typically where government has to step in.
a grossly oversimplied suggestion i would have is 10% of the income, starting from a 10 million USD/month income, up 15 percentual points for each order of magnitude, so 25% if someone gets 100m/mo, 55% if 10b/mo, 70% if 100b/mo etc.
assuming all these people properly pays accurately, that would be about enough to feed people in and out of school.
I don’t think your books will balance. There are not enough billionaires to find this. Also, they will all disappear, I bet they have good lawyers.
And I bet if implemented that threshold would come down and down and down. Let’s talk to a prosperous Ukrainian farmer in the interwar period. Sent to a goo-lag for having a sewing machine perhaps?
i smell double bind. say nothing and the food is taken away, with parents being forced to spit up more money for food. say something and rich people will be sad, which means no money added to pay for food, which will be used to justify taking away the food anyway.
what’s your solution then? you may not need the government to pay for your kids’ food, but there are people who still needs it. you gotta feed people somehow and be careful not to fall into ableist policy (e.g only people who quote unquote, “works hard”, gets the food).
pretty sure the labor of validating all the applications, surveyling who does and does not get the food, and pushing for the othering of people who have applications as well as those who doesn’t but still get the food, is gonna cost more than the actual food, being mostly transportation, cooking and cleaning.
You don’t need the government’s help. I happen to know a lot of families DO. There are kids right now, in the richest fucking country in the world, who might only have one substantial meal in their day, and that’s their school lunch.
poor workers aren’t being taxed. The US has a heavily progressive tax system. Anyone making less than 40-50k pays almost nothing in taxes as a percentage of income, as compared to someone making 300k a year.
These meals help the poor and middle class the most and are paid for mostly by high earners.
How the hell do they want to convince people this is a good thing?

This town had a lovely swimming pool which was suddenly closed and filled in during the 1960s. I can’t imagine why.
What is the Fword or the Kword?
Gays and jews, I assume.
Holy shit. I couldn’t figure out the K word, despite the fact that I literally wrote a joke that requires it.
…k word?
I believe they referring to “kike”, a slur for jewish people.
With the degree of self censoring and the love acronyms and shortening words, it’s becoming a challenge to follow written text.
Is the fword “faggot”?
the fword is “floating point”, there are a lot of leftist programmers.
I’m a lefty programmer and I do indeed hate floating points. I’ve had it bite me far too many times.
What is the connection between those two?
It’s a slur used for leftist programmers.
the connection between “floating point” and programming? gee no clue

Self censoring is not a good thing.
Honestly I wanted to be edgy but been trained that I’ll get auto moderated if I just type it out.
Also people really do be thinking you are racist if you type out a word (or recite a song lyric) from a different point of view.
In other words, it’s a no win scenario.
It is

I suppose taxes.
I’m a republican and I fully support free school meals. We are already taxed for books, building, teachers, etc.
I’d fully support basic supplies and meals as well. It just makes sense to make sure all students have the basic needs met since we are paying for it.
Instead of defining yourself by party membership in a group that doesn’t represent you, maybe you should think about not being a member of that party?

Based, lobby your representatives and let’s try and get the basics down in a bipartisanly
Right now my largest complaint with the republicans is they just want to stop the democrats from doing anything.
Good ideas should be pushed by both parties. The republicans are rarely pushing their own ideas. They’re just blocking other ideas.
The basic should be supplied. When I show up to work, I dont have to buy my own paper and pencil. It’s supplied.
Education is an investment in the next generation. I strongly support it.
Doesn’t sound like you fit in with the Republicans at all
It… helps the people they hate.
I don’t need the government to feed my kids. But at the moment they are taxing poor workers to do so. Is that a good idea?
So maybe tax the rich? As long as there is a single person who can’t afford to feed their kids, the government should feed them.
Ok, done. But don’t feed the rich too. Deal?
Yes, this helps poor workers because their kids get free meals. This isn’t raising taxes on the poor.
Where does the money come from?
Everyone. Literally everyone. When you’re poor, you get the money back on your taxes.
How about we dont take the money in the first place
Because this is a social good that results in ROI over decades. If something is not immediately profitable, it is difficult for the private market to be leveraged to find an optimal solution. Situations like that are typically where government has to step in.
the solution isn’t to stop feeding them altogether, but to tax those who actually wouldn’t miss any of the money used for that.

How rich do I have to be before I am one of the taxes?
