    He added, “I mean, how many people got their start in fast-food restaurants when they were kids, versus just giving a blanket rule that gives all kids lunches in high school who are capable of going out and actually getting a job and doing something that makes them have value, thinking about their future instead of thinking about how they’re going to sponge out the government when they don’t need to.”

    Fucking toddlers sponging off the government.

    Even in the reddest of red states, a first grader isn’t going to be working at McDonalds. They wouldn’t even be able to understand how even if they were tall enough to reach anything there, which they aren’t.
