Missouri has decided to turn down millions in federal food aid for low-income children - Lemmy.world

Are there federal bodies it third parties that can assist in these measures? Just because the state is fucked and run by terrorists, shouldn’t mean that someone can’t step up and help. I knows it’s not that easy geographically, but every little bit helps.
just because you disagree with someone, there’s no reason to refer to them as terrorists. having a sound fiscal policy isnt terrorism, after all.

Our governor is sitting on a tax surplus that was $5,000,000,000 a few months ago. (That’s billion, with a ‘b’) Just over the state line the state of Kansas literally just handed its surplus back to taxpayers in the form of a special tax cut. That five billion of OUR MONEY could do a lot to mitigate the problems in our state, but the folks in Jeff City haven’t figured out a way to feasibly give it away to their golf buddies yet.

Maybe the ‘terrorist’ tag is a little dramatic, but the Republican Party here in Missouri is literally making bad things happen in order to blame the consequences on the Federal Government.

Remember when St Louis raised their minimum wage then the state made it illegal for the city that makes most the states money to given themselves there.
So do I, and sadly, now that they’ve gotten voters to approve a gerrymandering system, it’s likely only going to get worse.
I’m glad I only work in Missouri. I live in Illinois where we are trying to be California.
