A community featuring uplifting and wholesome news stories that overlook deeply ingrained systemic problems.
The rules:
1. Your post must be an unironic presentation of a wholesome story, but one that overlooks systemic failures that made the story possible in the first place. In other words, we want posts that highlight "Yay, the problem is solved!", but ignore "Wait, why was this a problem in the first place?" at the same time.
2. Re-posts will be removed at mod discretion.
3. Sitewide rules apply. Basically, (a) don't be a dick; (b) use the NSFW tag; (c) no spam; (d) don't attack people; and (e) don't abuse the report button.

One side keeps saying no.

Its not just an issue in the US though
It's less of an issue in Europe at least. US news always sound like news from an alternate reality where humanity has gone down the dark path for me.
0 issue in Brazil I can say. People would laugh at the idea of making kids pay for food at public schools here
One side says no and the other side lets them because it would be uncivil to take this debate to the streets.

Authoritarianism bad mmmmkay?
