    Lol don’t be fooled this costs way more than any “savings”. And it’s factually illegal.

      Then no reason to be upset. It’ll just get overturned then, right?

            What would you pay 3 dollars for? 3-4 dollars a week got me lunch as a kid bcz we were so destitute and broke. Taking that away means kids go hungry. But, kids only matter when they’re unborn, am I right?

              No one is stopping you from starting your own charity to make up for it and you can also donate plenty of your own money to it.

                It never ceases to amaze me the callouses of some people, their unwillingness to help anybody else if it doesn’t somehow benefit them directly. It’s such a short minded way of viewing the world. You must be a very lonely person.

        You’re giving it away straight to their pockets, because the next step is to funnel all that money to their personal projects

        They’ll give it to Musk instead. If past behaviour is any indication, Republicans will actually raise the taxes for anyone except the top 5 percentile.

      I hear the government is funneling billions to some sort of satellite internet thing that wouldn’t be economically viable without those subsidies. Maybe they should look into that waste.
