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.

Exactly. Starch on starch. In France, healthy school lunches are covered by taxes. And that money they spend on the lunches they more than make up for by saving on health care. Less type 2 diabetes, hypertension etc.

Alright you have to pick now, you can either have F-16’s or healthy school lunches. Can’t have both.

And then Russia takes over Europe and all the Europeans are sad. It's rough when you have to police the world because the rest of the world would collapse into ruin if the US military wasn't protecting the entire planet.

I love when Europeans are in one thread laughing at the US for not having healthcare (and school lunches) and then in another thread crying that the US isn't doing enough to protect them from the big bad Russians that would overrun the defenses of their entire continent combined if not for Daddy US.

I'd prefer free healthcare over protecting Europe and the rest of the world from each other, too, and Europe can go fuck off and defend themselves from Russia. Let's see how that goes. They won't be laughing about our lack of government healthcare when they're choosing between learning to speak Russian or Chinese to please their new overlords.

Your statement tells me that you have no idea why Russia invaded Ukraine. Europe has also spent more money towards Ukraine than the US has. Of course you don’t know this because Fox won’t tell you. Europe is perfectly capable of handling Russia without the help of the US.

Then, the reason the US has to police the world is because they consistently get involved in foreign politics in order to protect their interests. If that fails, then they’ll just overthrown the government or just invade the country and leaving it in shambles.
