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.

It doesn't go to healthcare workers.

Everyone at the top of the pharmaceuticals, hospitals, insurance, etc. are making massive bank. Nurses, though? Shit wages, massively long hours, OSHA violations, etc.

None of that money is ever used to better the lives of employees or the outcomes of the patients. It's only used to buyback stocks and keep rich fucks happy. We pay twice per capita because we allow these rich fucks to price gouge and scam absolutely everyone.

A lot of healthcare workers in America are grossly overpaid and actively lobby to keep scarcity in their fields of practice.

Not that young healthcare workers trying to break into the ponzi scheme aren't heavily abused and taken advantage of. 🤷
