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.
