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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

Yeah, I think so too. Can't remember the name either, it's been a while.

They can just sleep through the day at their woke school. /S

And no minorities in that picture.

That’s a nice start, but it needs to be free for all kids, like at least my state

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 days ago

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.

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
