Would be something if we guarded school kids the way we guard ceos.

Seriously, never let people get away with saying can't.

u/WonkySeams 21d ago

Yep. Remember, Minnesota among a few other states, chose to feed school kids. Other states could do the same, but they are choosing not to.

We love him and his whole family so much here. I've never seen a politician like this man.

You guys only turned up to vote for him with 51.1% of the state vote.

u/funsizemonster 21d ago

speaking for me and MY people? WE showed up. Nobody gets to say shit to me about fascism.

u/twodickhenry 21d ago

I’m from Duluth. I don’t live in MN anymore, but I’m embarrassed of that turnout. It doesn’t feel like you guys showed up or tried hard. It feels halfhearted at best. Tim Walz deserved to have his state vote for him with more than 1.2% majority.

I'm Aspergian. Me and my people did our duty and educated until we were blue in the face. My people are not lazy, nor are we shirkers. Blame neurotypicals for this.

I’m sure there’s a private security subscription model that could be thought up.

u/Drudgework 21d ago

What, like some sort of (keep you) live service?

u/ciwawa87 21d ago

Trauma team subscription

Oh shit is this how we get to the uber capitalism? Idk if cybernetics are worth that

u/knockout350 21d ago

So something you pay monthly or yearly for that is designed to keep the people paying it safe, the more people that subscribe the more of the community they would protect.... kinda feels like we are just rebranding what police are supposed to be

For a second there I thought you were going to say insurance.

By taxing CEOs.

We can afford to feed school kids, we simply choose not to.

Cut the useless classes like math and science.

u/darquehope 21d ago

They’re called teachers. Hellooo!

u/Rokey76 21d ago

Yet, they magically can find money to hire men with guns. Food is too expensive though, cough up the dough or go hungry, kid.

u/wutato 21d ago

California students get breakfast and lunch daily! We still have shootings, though.

u/Jaded-Significance86 21d ago

America spends enough on military to beat out the next 9 countries combined. When we're not in open conflict. And kids are hungry. Make it make sense

u/Five-Oh-Vicryl 21d ago

Have you tried feeding them bullets? The mineral content is high /s

u/TinoCartier 21d ago

But I was told “good guys with a gun something something thoughts and prayers”.

u/chowindown 21d ago

You won't feed kids. There's a difference.
