It’s this precise lack of empathy that, in my eyes, disqualifies you from caring for other’s kids.

I mean, what kind of person says “we shouldn’t feed starving kids”? Like seriously. That’s what you’re arguing here.

You take care of your own? Congratulations. Want a participation trophy? I think I can spare a bottle cap or something. Too bad they’re no longer shiny…

I am fine with "feeding starving children". It's feeding the children of wealthy people that I bridle at

What makes you think I want praise for raising my kids? It's my job. That's my point

Yes. Fuck over starving not-rich-kids whose only meal of the day comes from free school lunch programs- because a rich kid “might” get a free lunch.

* golf clap * Impressive display of empathy there. Oh and by the way… you’re generally wrong about whose getting free lunches. So you’re fucking starving kids over … because of propaganda.

I couldn't give a flying fuck who thinks I'm empathetic.

Virtue signalling may be your bag (I'm sure you hold all the correct opinions), but I don't care.

Not a rich kid "might get a school lunch", you ignoramus. The majority of people don't need free lunches why are we buying them for them.
