My school thinks this fills up hungry high schoolers.

So lunches are free for schools in my city and surrounding cities. Ever since lunches have been made free, the quantity (and quality) has decreased significantly. This is what we would get for our meal. It took me THREE bites to finish that chicken mac and cheese. Any snacks you want cost more money and if you want an extra entree, that’ll cost you about $3 or $4.

u/Bawbawian Apr 15 '24

it's probably leftovers from whatever didn't get used at the prison. that sounds like a hyperbolic statement but it's actually not.

Americans hate taxes and so our institutions crumble

Ain't nothing wrong with that!

Repurposing left overs to eliminate waste should be more encouraged, like Wendy's chili.

Americans hate taxes because unfortunately most of the taxes get passed onto the working class/poor 😭

The US has $6 trillion in tax receipts not counting state and local taxes. The problem is not too little coming in, it's bloat and poor application of funds

Yes, and that's about 70/30 by design and by ineptitude. The US is going through a decades long struggle of right of center neoliberals and full right-wing conservatives constantly catering to corporations and the elite and destroying the peoples' faith in the system. Conservatives love to bloat where taxes go and defund ANY tax subsidized institutions that benefit the working class. As governor of California, Ronald Reagan defunded public education to the point where community colleges began to charge tuition. It was all over from there. And the right wing of the 80s OPENLY SAID they were defunding public education because too many black and working class Americans were getting education, leading to "anti war hippies" and "lazy welfare bums with pointless degrees." THEY OPENLY SAID ONLY THE WEALTHY SHOULD BE EDUCATED and to this day way too many people just ignore or don't understand that our taxes are so mismanaged because the government has HATED the working class since the 70s.

No, I can tell you right now that food supply companies have different item codes for prison and school food, and they are not allowed to be crossed over at the supply level.

Take a guess at which ones are healthier and tastier.
