Nebraska governor stands firm on rejection of federal money to feed food-insecure children
Nebraska’s governor is standing firm on his plans to reject $18 million in federal funding to help feed children who might otherwise go hungry while school is out.
Look folks our state population is suffering. The only thing we can do now is deny the children here proper nutrition. That way they are stunted and too dumb to leave the state. Now before you start protesting and saying this won't work. I say it will, because it has! Just ask your parents.
The governor doesn't believe in welfare, so Nebraska is just going to let those kids starve.
It's weird how just one douchebag can ruin so many lives in a democracy.
He's representing the majority of his state. They're the ones that enable him to do this. He's not doing it out of thin air.
They're cheering this on, not opposing it.
As soon as it comes out of the womb they don’t give a shit. Actually they don’t even care when it’s in the womb either they just want control
Yup. Many of them are still upset that women have The Pill. Drives 'em crazy. Radicals like Coke Can Clarence signaled they'd like to do something about it, too.
Seriously, this guy needs to fuck off into the nether.
Alternate headline. Nebraska gov blocks food for starving kids
They're just trying to encourage the hungry children to get jobs.
They need to pull themselves up by their Oshkosh bootie straps.
this guy has principles and beliefs and he can't just drop them because children are hungry.. sure, his beliefs make him an asshole but he's nothing without his beliefs.. this makes him nothing but an asshole, but that's a sacrifice he's willing to make..
If he could just walk into the ocean forever, that'd be great
Too bad Nebraska is triply-landlocked
I'll buy him a bus ticket
This is the best summary I could come up with:
(AP) — Nebraska’s Republican governor on Friday reiterated his rejection of $18 million in federal funding to help feed children who might otherwise go hungry while school is out.
That statement came as advocates for children and low-income families held a news conference outside the Governor’s Mansion in Lincoln to call on Pillen to change his mind before the Jan. 1 deadline to sign up for the program.
The program — part of federal assistance made available during the COVID-19 pandemic — would provide pre-loaded EBT cards to families whose children are eligible for free and reduced-price lunches at school.
Kim Reynolds announcing that decision last week and saying, “An EBT card does nothing to promote nutrition at a time when childhood obesity has become an epidemic.”
Pillen insisted Friday that the state would continue to help food-insecure children through the Summer Food Service Program, which provides meals and snacks at various sites when school is not in session.
Preston Love Jr,, a longtime community advocate in Omaha, on Friday questioned whether Pillen was bowing to political pressure in rejecting the federal funding.

What kind of stupid asshat turns down free money for feeding kids!??!
Because he’ll use state’s funds to feed them right? He’ll use state funds to feed them…
The cruelty is the point; a huge chunk of reich-wingers are literal psychopaths, and the sooner people understand that the better.
In the present research (N = 675), we focus on the relationship between the dark side of human personality and political orientation and extremism, respectively, in the course of a presidential election where the two candidates represent either left-wing or right-wing political policies. Narcissism, Machiavellianism, psychopathy, and everyday sadism were associated with right-wing political orientation, whereas narcissism and psychopathy were associated with political extremism. Moreover, the relationships between personality and right-wing political orientation and extremism, respectively, were relatively independent from each other.
We found eleven significant correlations between conservative [Moral Intuition Survey] judgments and the Dark Triad – all at significance level of p<.00001 – and no significant correlations between liberal [Moral Intuition Survey] judgments and the Dark Triad. We believe that these results raise provocative moral questions about the personality bases of moral judgments. In particular, we propose that because the Short-D3 measures three “dark and antisocial” personality traits, our results raise some prima facie worries about the moral justification of some conservative moral judgments
We are about to go the way of Sodom and Gomorrah
As I recall the death and destruction wrought in Sodom and Gomorrah came from a malicious third party, and here we're talking about the malicious local leader. In other words, this is what happens when democracy fails.
Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed because God was upset with how they were treating the poor.
