Fuck everyone in this thread cheering this on. This is NOT the schadenfreude you think it is.
Read the article you dipshits. This is not impacting the wealthy, or white areas, it's impacting the poor black ones.
All you lazy armchair activists are cheering on the actions that are guaranteed to raise the black infant mortality rate in Alabama even higher than it already is.
Almost everyone in this thread is talking about how this is a bad thing and why it happened.
Never let reality stop you from getting infuriated.
When I came to the thread I just spammed my point across all the top comments, which were all cheering it on.
So you're just seeing my comments, and maybe others who came in after and also read the article.
so you spammed the same shit to everyone with bad takes and you thought it was so important to post a standalone too? jesus dude, relax
there's only 26 comments (8 parents) a day later ffs, it's not like there was an outpouring of support the way your comment implies
Yes, I took approx. 2 minutes of my toilet time to call out the bad takes.
Do you want to help me manage my shits more effectively?
If I send you my pooping schedule, can you make sure to recommend the posts I should respond to?
there's a very dark humour joke about abortion somewhere in there
