Covid learning loss has been a global disaster

Something wrong with medical care for 80+ year olds being a political priority and ensuring every child gets a nutritious lunch at school not being a political priority.

My grandpa got taxpayer funded dialysis at 95+ while I was offered defrosted cardboard pizza for lunch everyday, and would have had to pay for it.

This isn't surprising to me. Most old voters don't want to die broke on the street, and most younger people don't want to see their grandparents die broke on the street, either.

As someone currently on the line between young and old, I get that.

You can do both, it's not an either/or.

Maybe, maybe not. But it is clear which one has priority for US voters.

Just would like to point out that older people tend to vote much more than younger folks.
