>The private company providing lunches that parents have to pay money to under penalty of the aforementioned, so that it can generate a profit in exchange for goods and services… is not capitalism?
capitalism doesn't punish you for not buying something. i don't get a fine for not shopping at walmart or mcdonalds. are walmart and mcdonalds then not participating in capitalism?

It's not a lie my dude. It's common sense. When you can reason with yourself and understand that there are some things you may not understand. It's extremely easy to see that feelings or dislike for something doesn't make it untrue. The truth is actually extremely uncomfortable at times, but the truth is what the truth is. I'm sorry to say that you are still incorrect.

I have a better idea. How about you move to East Palestine, Ohio and enjoy the freedom.

You used a lot of words there to basically say ‘I have no idea what capitalism actually is.’
Please, define capitalism for me.

Oh believe me, when those Russian/Chinese nukes fly in a few years one of the first targets is Groton. We are still very relevant.

You mean the system that's worked for 100s and hundreds of years? Do you think that an employee of a business, who trades his time for money, deserves all of the same benefits as these owner of the company he's employed under? Where has the employee risked his financial wellbeing to deserve the same as the business owner? Why would it be expedient for anyone to run a business where you make the same as your employees? Does that employee do the same amount of work as the CEO keeping the business going? The sooner you accept that it costs money to live in this world and you have to earn a paycheck to live in it the better off you are. The alternative, isn't an alternative at all (social universal basic income), it is impossible for everyone to be a dependent somebody pays. You don't have to work a job if you're living in the wilderness, but you will work to survive. Nothing is possible without some trade. And I don't think capitalism is ruining anyone's life, including yours. That phone or computer you are using to argue your point is part of that system. Did your phone ruin your life? This is the mentality of the perpetual student. A growing debt and a wealth of useless knowledge un-applicable or translateable to the work force. So yes capitalism represents a free society. You were taught to think otherwise because of global bureaucratic ambitions of you your handlers.

Gun control and abortion. Where's the correlation?

Even shorter for the babies murders you support.

Taking steps to reduce gun violence and taking steps to reduce other forms of death can exist at the same time. They're not mutually exclusive.
CT has one of the lowest gun death rates in the Union. Is there a link between that and CT firearm laws? https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/pressroom/sosmap/firearm_mortality/firearm.htm
What's your proposal to reduce strokes, cardiovascular disease and household accidents?

Who was so inclined to insinuate the topic of abortion?
Do us all a favor. Grow some brains or get lost. Life's too short to deal with idiots like you....

You seem like you enjoy making strawman arguments. Sorry I hit a sore spot for you. Maybe you should talk to one of your social workers.

What's the big deal? I've been repeatedly assured that laws can't actually prevent people from getting their hands on weapons if they really want to. Just do that!

Roaring acres alpaca farm in Suffield is neat.
Flamig farm in Simsbury is also a good petting zoo. We went around Halloween and they have a lot of fun stuff for kids to do plus a pretty long hay ride.
