When I went to work at the local food pantry, the first thing I learned was that most of the clients smoked cigarettes. The food is given so that they can spend their money on smokes instead.

IOW they need the food because cigarettes cost so much. Which is because of the liberals.

My husband and I just had this conversation this morning about the price of cigarettes. If you smoke these days, I would think you would have to make a choice between food and butts. When I smoked many years ago a pack was 35 cents!

Yeah - parents are not held accountable...I remember growing up - who showed up with me during lunch or dinner - my family feed them - no questions asked...even my grandfather would cook extra - he said , you never know...

But yes - parents are buying other things and not taking care of their kids...and those kids develop attachment disorders - not all - but to some degree most.

Then if the parents are drug away to jail - who takes care of them then...foster families - state facilities...all because at some point - some liberal program suggested that these idiots have “a right” to do as they please without consequences...and society is now paying for it...

Same here - there is a school lunch program during the summer set up downtown and up on the hill for kids to go and get food...no questions asked...sitting outside and watching ...you see parents drive up - drop off - leave and in a few hours come back and pick up - repeat! Like a bad hair shampoo...

But those same parents are the first to call and complain when little Johnny acts up in class and gets in trouble during the school year...never ending stupidity!

...this “community” needs to take care of everyone approach breeds laziness - and the kids pay for it for a life time...as do the tax payers...
