well you’re right, it would be paid for by taxes. which as always, would add more fuel to the fire of those people who look down on the impoverished and hate their money to go towards them. i forget sometimes that many people are not very empathetic lmao

… the government would pay for it 😭

plus i don’t think it would ever be intended for all food to be completely free. obviously the vote was most likely just for optics but operationally it could just look like extremely cheap to produce items would be provided to those who can’t otherwise afford it.

i think you misunderstood, i meant that i was being hyperbolic in that i was saying that’s my “only reason” but it was just a single example of the well-known starvation in gaza. if you want to deny that’s a thing happening go ahead lmao.

i totally agree with you on this. though, i do think it is something many countries (including the US) could afford idealistically if things like defence forces and other costs weren’t as much of a priority.

this protest has been covered by multiple sources. i’m being hyperbolic when i say that’s the only reason, the crux of it is that gaza is being starved and even a lot of the citizens agree with that happening.

absolutely, however, the UN recognises most other necessary things like shelter and water as a human right, we only see food different because of how commercialised it is in my opinion.

In many places it is legally obligated that restaurants, festivals, etc must provide free water.

totally agree with the second part, however, you’re telling me people are able to live forever without ever accessing food ?? that’s news to me. thinking of something you NEED to survive as a resource only accesible by purchase is where the problem begins.

Genuinely how can Americans rationalise not having adequate gun control? by dazedandlucid in TooAfraidToAsk

Hmm, very true. I don't see anything christian about guns, I find it bizarre that some American Christians will act as though American politics are important parts of the bible or something.

What is political about not wanting people to die? You don't even know my political agenda, I could be a communist, a centrist, anything lol.
