Minnesota Governor Tim Walz signs law guaranteeing free breakfast and lunch for all students

Dumb. Students of rich parents should not be given free meals.

Dumb. Students of rich parents should not be given free meals and their parents should be taxed more heavily to fund this.

Why? Let people who have the means spend money on how they want. People with the means should be able to buy other food instead of whatever garbage they’re fed in public schools.

The delusion that being rich means you are omniscient, rather than just good in one field and equally as ignorant as everywhere else (including nutrition), is poisoning the US and the world.

No other country in the world would see such pushback toward Walz's humanitarian idea.

So you want the state to regulate the meals of every person, because apparently some people are ignorant in nutrition? That’s a very authoritarian idea.

Giving kids the option of free school lunch is not "regulating the meals of every person". It's still legal to bring food from home.

But when you take away money from people, you are limiting their options elsewhere. I’m all for raising taxes on the wealthy- but not coupled with handouts for them as well.

"Taking away money is limiting peoples freedom" and "We should take more from rich people and not give them 'handouts'" a sentence apart. Amazing. The second argument makes the first one irrelevant, so why include it?

Oh FFS, this is such an easy thing to understand.

1. Limiting people’s freedoms can sometimes be necessary, like with taking away rich people’s money to pay for free lunches for low-income students. This is a good thing.

2. Limiting people’s freedoms can sometimes be unnecessary, like with taking away rich people’s money to pay for lunches for rich students who don’t need it at all. This is a bad thing.

These two things are not in contradiction with one another at all.
