Political will, yes, but if you think people aren't willing to receive help and all the resources we need are there you are so misguided my friend. We can't even fund student lunches in many states. The primary problem across the board is lack of committing resources. Similarly child allowance tax credit was literally lifting people out of poverty but we don't have the political will to renew it. People accept help w…

There is no good reason a kid should go hungry in the US. Federal, state, school, charity food programs make it possible for every kid to eat. But a parent who would steal his kids coat to pay his medical bills (your scenario not mine or likely anyone else's), is the kind of parent who doesn't care enough about their kid to sign up and participate in these programs. You should hang out on r/teachers some time and get…

It isn't a good argument for why you shouldn't give out resources. Even if parents are going to "steal" the funds, as you say, you are still giving them that much more overhead, and research shows the vast, vast majority of people aren't going to behave like you describe (educate yourself, consume some real leftist content)

Your counter argument would be more persuasive if you provided proof instead of what seems like just another opinion.

Looks great and much better than my piecemeal efforts, although I recommend linking to a specific commit of all.txt so you aren't opening up your browser's ublock origin filter list to arbitrary remote control. Like: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/quenhus/uBlock-Origin-dev-...

>so you aren't opening up your browser's ublock origin filter list to arbitrary remote control. What's the worse that could happen? It seems like ublock is already to treat filter lists as semi-untrusted. There's not much it can do other than block stuff.
