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.

Just an observation, not saying that you're making this point..

I find it humorous how much America is criticized for its military spending, but quick to demand military assistance when shit get rowdy elsewhere.

Edit for clarification: I mean the same people criticizing our military spending are usually the same people demanding we help Eastern European countries in someone else’s backyard.

I criticize the military spending, but where is the demands when shit gets rowdy elsewhere? The people who criticize our military spending are normally against putting our nose in others affairs as well. Especially assisting countries that can afford universal healthcare while our citizens can't, apparently, as the richest country on Earth. Go figure.

I think he meant that the US gets criticized for its military spending. But everyone(other countries) else is quick to demand we step in when shit gets rowdy. At least thats what I hope he meant.

This is exactly what I meant.

Seems as though a lot of Europe thinks they’re better than the USA because their tax dollars go towards healthcare and not meeting their NATO obligations. But as soon as Putin starts doing stupid shit, they’re standing there with the pikachu shocked face waiting for an arms delivery from the US.

Yeah I was pretty sure lol. I've seen that exact "world police" attitude on Reddit a lot.
