      Either that or “I don’t believe that anyone is starving. I just ate a large lunch so obviously nobody is going hungry.”

      They only recognize that something is real when it affects them personally. If it doesn’t then they’ll either claim the thing doesn’t exist or will say it’s that person’s fault that they are going through that (likely for being “too lazy” to pull themselves up by their bootstraps).

        “I don’t believe that anyone is starving. I just ate a large lunch so obviously nobody is going hungry.”

        Exactly. Same energy as “I made a snowball in January so obviously global warming doesn’t exist and neither does the sun by the way.” Weaponized incompetence at the object permanence level.

      Literally everyone in this comment section is missing “regardless of the individual eligibility of each student”. Everyone is getting hysterical over something that isn’t even in the cards.

      Of course a lot of kids rely on free school lunches and they aren’t trying to take that away. They’re trying to restrict free lunches to kids with parents who are actually incapable of feeding them. If parents can afford food for their kids, feed your fucking kids.
