$10 billion funded school lunches for a year during COVID and we should have kept it going. School kitchens are back to having to try to collect "lunch debt" again. So how is less than a fifth of that going to end hunger? This is just election posturing and empty promises. Look for more of these coming soon from the right.

I can't afford health care but I appreciate VLC and people who support it. All I can give is a God bless and thank you!

We need to start putting the death penalty on the table for criminally negligent officers.

Prepare for getting up early by staying up all night a couple of times in a row. Sleeping early will be easier and waking up early will seem natural.

I work crazy shifts in all hours and it's impossible to go backwards. Go forward.

Maybe in some areas. I've donated many times and never received anything. I haven't donated in the last three years though. I'm officially in the pay me camp now. I can't afford healthcare.

Eh, the police fish would just keep all the good armed fish out of the area.

Pay me. Well. This is like restaurants paying $9 complaining that nobody wants to work. If I go to the ER and get an aspirin it's like $3k. But they want my blood for free. How much would it cost if I needed a pint or two of blood in the ER?

I live in a neighborhood that is all half acre lots. So an acre is two properties on my street. Easy!

I'm 50 and definitely working at least to 70. I can't afford life now, I can't afford to retire!

Well he lost so history remains intact.

I feel like "The thin crust line" would work better than "The thin bread crust".

The Cincinnati streetcar cost almost exactly $150m and it serves like 0.5% of the metro population. It runs a 3.6 mile loop, that's just over a 1.5 mile walk from one end to the other. I can walk it in 20 minutes.

Don't get me wrong, I agree with the sentiment of the post. We need to invest in public transit. Where I live there are zero non-car options. But don't pretend you're building comprehensive public transit for $150m.
