    What you said is horrible and you should feel horrible.

    But your willing to sacrifice children’s lives for your own political goals is noted. Israel does something similar.

        You really are not connecting A and B here.

        They said there should be a general strike. I said to them that 40% of Americans live paycheck-to-paycheck, meaning that missing work means not being able to feed and house their kids.

        They said they can just take their kids to a soup kitchen. Which, and I don’t know how to make this any clearer to you, will not stop their kids from getting taken away from them because they’re homeless.

        So you’re right, they aren’t responsible for other people’s kids and neither are you. You just both expect people to sacrifice them anyway.

          look bro, would i push for a law that allows raw milk to be sold? Probably not, if they push one, am i going to stop them just because they might end up killing people? Also no, collateral damage is still damage, and we’re so far gone it’s not gonna improve much at this point.
