“Huge lunch debts”??? WTF is this even? How does the US even function?
I mean, like this. This is pretty much where our “prosperity” comes from. We require everyone to be responsible for even the most basic of needs and in return we get to have crazy profit margins that disproportionately benefit the people that would still be embarrassingly rich if they paid for every kid to get a free school lunch.

Thanks for your insight but I wasn’t implying food service is profitable. I was trying to say money gets diverted elsewhere because it’s so limited in its profit. American dollars chase profit above all else, even to the detriment of society as a whole.

Mostly by strip mining the rest of the planet for profit.

Usually Economic Shock Treatment was doled out by countries like the USA via their clandestine operations of the CIA with the intent to subjugate potential trade partners and force absurdly good deals for the USA. This kind of tomfoolery is part of what has allowed the US to retain such economic dominance without having to deeply improve conditions internally, because we just steal the wealth of the rest of the world while never actually fixing our own shitshow of a government.
Only recently has it become the norm for nations to self-impose this insanity on themselves, like Javier Milei in Argentina or Donald Trump in the USA… Doing it yourself… doesn’t work very well…
With hopes and prayers.
And bootstraps!
You have no idea. The US is a complete capitalist dystopia. I finally realized this several months ago when I read news stories about “vanlords” renting broken down vans parked on the streets for people to live in, for hundreds of dollars a month.
The US functions?
It’s so refreshing to see non Americans react the way we Americans should. Feeding children, just one meal a day, is too big of an ask for too many Americans and “Christian” posers. There is even the added selling point, kids learn better when they aren’t fucking hungry. Don’t we want our kids smart or at least be able to learn? American is a shameful cruel place
