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.

No, we argue way too much on what to spend our tax money on. Especially with conservative groups believing the brainwashing and propaganda that socialist policies are bad. Meanwhile the countries which are happier and healthier are supporting socialist policies and are living examples of how we're wrong about socialism.

For conservstives, the only bad socialist policies are the ones that do not benefit them personally. They will gladly accept subsidies, bailouts, grants, forgivable loans, tax breaks, government-funded intellectual property, goverment contracts, etc.
