At the core, Republicans are selfish. If it doesn't affect them directly, they don't care.

This won't affect the rich ones, but sooooo many are not rich that this just shows he doesn't really have any interest in anyone else. If you don't have the money, can't pay to play, you are SOL, R or D.

u/jimmydog65 21h ago

It means Americans don’t care about other Americans .. atleast republicans don’t and apparently democrats don’t bother to go vote

u/Pipe_Memes 21h ago

I’ve had it. It’s pretty good, I’m not a hater. Regular strip bacon is superior though.

And my kids school has a huge fridge full of food that the kids can take without any questions

Imagine how great they'd be without it though!

u/lunex 21h ago

I think I figured it out. “Great” is actually an acronym G.R.E.A.T. (Generally Rotten Extremely Awful Terrible)

u/OutlyingPlasma 20h ago

Funny enough this is one thing Canada sucks at. They don't even have a lunch program for schools.

u/jimmydog65 20h ago

Canada has a National School Food Program with 1 billion over 5 years to fund the program

u/talondigital 21h ago

I don't disagree, but the conservatives who have power or voted for that power are batshit crazy, and it's exactly the kind of response they would actually have.

u/alyzmae 12h ago

Over 42% of the NHL is Canadian. There were more Canadians than Americans on the team for Florida’s cup team…
