only in this epic Land of Freedom™ could such a blessed thing happen. if this was Bad Country, those children would still be in debt for needing to eat lunch at school.

Meanwhile, the orphan crushing machine could have been disabled with $20 in explosives if you take out the mechanic who repairs it first

Relative to China, America has

-4x more prime farmland
-1/4 as many people to feed
-that farmland is higher quality soil
-receives more regular rainfall (no monsoon pattern)
-has warmer winter temperatures
-has cooler summer temperatures

there’s no excuse lol
this shit is literally 100x easier to do in the US and they’re still failing

Add to your list:

  • US farms get billions of dollars in government subsidies per year.
  • farms destroy their crops during times of surplus to keep market prices up.

But poor farmers are going to starve if we let children eat for free.

if America directly governed the entire world, we would have starvation even if the global population was 1,000 people

But what if I pointed at China and said the words “social credit score” when you tell me lunch debt for children is evil? What then, commies?

A social credit score is only fine if it’s expressed in dollars. If you’re poor, it means you’re a bad person.

Mathing out how much money per kid was spent versus how much their shitty fucking school food cost made me so angry I deleted it and wrote this instead

there are ticks out there leeching off school children the same way they do prisoners, and it is fucking gross on both counts and a demonstration of how absolutely morally bankrupt our society is

adventure time indeed, jfc

everybody deserves tasty and nutritious food, safe and warm shelter, comfortable and clean clothes, healthcare, and community, and I will fucking fight a motherfucker who wants to disagree to my face

fuckers. gd this shit makes me so fucking mad.

It’s the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances’ admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
