How did I know this was going to be the explanation?

[@nuance8530]

I went to Matt's article and I'm still not clear on how the census question change raised money for unemployed families.

Why did de santis do anything for anyone? I thought he was a stickler to the maxim of every man for himself and screw the rest. Could de santis be growing a heart?

Of course Trump will take credit for it.

Florida Governor Ron Desantis has funded all public schools systems with free breakfast AND lunch for every single student in the state. The requirements for receiving the grant is a basic reading, writing, and mathematics curriculum. Many counties accepted the program. SO THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RICH AND POOR CHILDREN NO LONGER EXISTS. That said, the competition for the OVERALL best educated students will manifest in test scores. ANY GIVEN SUBJECT..............

[@cazzac4817]

What does this mean can you elaborate on what you mean by the difference between poor and rich being gone and the the best educated students manifesting themselves in test scores?

[@Unclejamsarmy]

Yes the only difference between poor and rich kids in the US is school meals… how stupid can you possibly be?
