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.
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.:
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.
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.
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.
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.
meanwhile Florida ponders whether children in the mines should be fed
how does a 14 year old work overnight i dont get it
That's easy: you don't go to high-school anymore.
Utah. White people helping white people 🤍
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.
Love to see it.
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.
Damn, fhe first half of that headline had me thinking something very different
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.
had us in the first half
I totally ate the Onion on the first half...

Richest country in the history of the planet, and we have "lunch debt" for kids in school.
Well yeah, how are we going to get rich if we aren’t taking money from 5 year olds?
And making them work to repay it!
Maybe those 5 year olds should get a second job and skip the avocado toast.
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
