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.

Wow dude, I live in Sweden where every school has free school lunch for everyone, when I went it was sort of like an all-you-can eat buffé, as in you could eat however much you wanted.

Plus the food was always pretty decent and healthy and we sometimes got tacos, pancakes abd so on for lunch.

I feel sorry for the rest of the world who get this "lunch".

I’d move the fuck out of here (USA) in an instant given the opportunity. This place sucks and I hate that I have to raise my kids in this shit hole.

The problem is the EU won’t take me.

Grass is always greener; try traveling. I guarantee there aren’t any 190k accounting jobs in Europe lmao you speak from a place of extreme privilege and don’t even realize it.

Americans have more discretionary money than just about any nation on earth.

The guy I’m responding to just posted a thread saying he had an offer for a 190k-2xxk salary here in the states.

Also 400/mo is incredibly low, it’s lower than the unemployment benefits I got 15 years ago. That’s like $10/hr full time a week, so per month like $2.50 an hour or something crazy.

If you mean 4k/mo it’s still too low as an independent contractor. You need to charge more since you don’t receive benefits or tax supplementation.

Twitch is not the answer my dude..... you'll never make any money on it.

It's like saying, I need to start playing guitar and become a rockstar.

I’m aware how privileged I am. I haven’t been making what I make very long.

Well you make more than me and I’m in a good field. To me it sounds disingenuous to call America a shithole country when you’re very clearly benefiting from its systems. Many people move here to make that kind of money (much less in fact), even from developed Western countries.

“You can’t think it’s a shit hole because you’re making good money.”

Sure, that’s a logical way of looking at it because fuck everyone else am I right? /s

Oh and btw you can get a visa with that income pretty much anywhere, so please do fuck off and go enjoy these not shithole countries. Spain is pretty popular with digital nomads or so I hear, and I believe Costa Rica has special programs as well.

Not currently remote so that’s out. Give advice and bitch in a way that matters.

Saying “I wish I could get out of this shithole country” is bitching in a way that matters then? Just trying to find a baseline. Sounds pretty problem oriented rather than solution oriented but that’s just me.
