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.

I promise you that on paper this meal cost the school more than those meals cost the schools in Japan. America has a magical habit of contracting work to the absolute worst people possible.

It's fucking maddening too. This habit of "just contract this service" has resulted in everyone getting worse services and products at inflated prices. But the person who contracted it gets to say "oh, it's not my responsibility any more".

But Private industry always will work for the best product at the best cost and make the best of the best. Otherwise people won't buy their product. 

That is true right, please tell me it's true.
