As soon as it comes out of the womb they don’t give a shit. Actually they don’t even care when it’s in the womb either they just want control
Look folks our state population is suffering. The only thing we can do now is deny the children here proper nutrition. That way they are stunted and too dumb to leave the state. Now before you start protesting and saying this won’t work. I say it will, because it has! Just ask your parents.
this guy has principles and beliefs and he can’t just drop them because children are hungry… sure, his beliefs make him an asshole but he’s nothing without his beliefs… this makes him nothing but an asshole, but that’s a sacrifice he’s willing to make…
This is the best summary I could come up with:
(AP) — Nebraska’s Republican governor on Friday reiterated his rejection of $18 million in federal funding to help feed children who might otherwise go hungry while school is out.
That statement came as advocates for children and low-income families held a news conference outside the Governor’s Mansion in Lincoln to call on Pillen to change his mind before the Jan. 1 deadline to sign up for the program.
The program — part of federal assistance made available during the COVID-19 pandemic — would provide pre-loaded EBT cards to families whose children are eligible for free and reduced-price lunches at school.
Kim Reynolds announcing that decision last week and saying, “An EBT card does nothing to promote nutrition at a time when childhood obesity has become an epidemic.”
Pillen insisted Friday that the state would continue to help food-insecure children through the Summer Food Service Program, which provides meals and snacks at various sites when school is not in session.
Preston Love Jr, a longtime community advocate in Omaha, on Friday questioned whether Pillen was bowing to political pressure in rejecting the federal funding.

Alienate headline. Nebraska gov blocks food for starving kids
When NE’s awful policies make national news, I like to remind myself that they contributed 1 electoral vote to Biden in 2020, due to them being 1 of only 2 states that split their (3) electoral votes. Doesn’t change the headlines, but helps me remain optimistic.
