    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

        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

      A person claimed to me today that Leon paid it all back. Argued the point until everyone within hearing distance laughed.

    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.

      Imagine children getting free lunches and you still manage to make it about: “ARF THEM EVIL WHITE PEOPLE!!!11”

      Got outside, lunatic.

        Cracker please. /s

        Spicy response, I know, but “it’s always about evil white people”?

        Nuh-uh, not going there.

    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.

      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.

        There’s more than those two right parties. Take off your blinders and look around, will you?

        Maybe watch an election cycle in Canada or Mexico to see how blinded you are.

          Your point was not clear. You sound like a maga, or one of those “undecided,” who are decidedly worse.

            My point was exceedingly clear.

            If Democrats did their job at the federal level, student lunch debt wouldn’t exist. Instead, they’re helping Israel run an apartheid.

            You just didn’t understand it.
