School lunch debt, what about normal lunch debt?

I get free lunch at work. Absolute game-changer.

You want free lunch for kids.
I want free kids for lunch.
We are not the same

One of my local food banks has a community dinner once a month. The food isn't anything to write home about, but it's free.

The food isn't anything to write about
Using that phrase in writing always tickles my funnybone with its inherent self-contradiction 😁

Sometimes I think about how we might make a public dining hall that people would choose to eat at, rather than go as a last resort. Sort of how U.S. public housing is dumpy while some European social housing is actually desirable.

But how else will capitalist society coerce people into wage slavery? Next up you're gonna tell me people should not be homeless either?!! What kind of dystopian society is this where everyone has food on the table?!! /s

I don't know how it is in other states, but in Florida, a company called Red Apple Dining owns the cafeteria. I hate this company because not only are they providing lower quality foods for profit, they do not allow anywhere else on campus to have a kitchen besides home ec, so now students can't choose to have a better option besides bringing a cold lunch to school. The school I'm working at has an old kitchen that students would use for projects or fun and now it goes unused because of Red Apple Dining establishing anti-cooking rules. Florida education sucks.

Kids need to grow strong so they can be brainwashed into doing the bidding of the ruling class.
The elderly are too set in their own ways to be brainwashed efficiently, and too weak to get exploited efficiently anyways.

Everyone gets free shit unless you work. Then you can pay for your own shit and everyone elses. You can pay for rich people too.

I think the post is talking about retired people who can't work and sometimes don't get enough retirement money to live without worrying of paying bills or food

Exactly what meals on wheels is for, but it needs more funding, to be sure.

You're right, it's not desirable for people to be overworked or those who can work to not contribute. It's also not desirable for any of these people to go hungry:
- People who want to work, but can't find jobs
- People who do work but aren't paid enough to cover essentials
- People who can't work
- People
We've become incredibly efficient over the centuries, and we have enough for everybody to eat without overworking anyone. The issue is many people not receiving the full value of their work, while a much smaller group receive value far beyond what they contributed.

Yep and they’ll argue that they contributed their capital and took all the risk. I could also contribute more if I didn’t pay tax and exploit people and wasn’t exploited myself. Then I’d have more capital to take risk. I accept I have to pay tax and at least try not to exploit people - very hard in a capitalist/global economy

But you're perfectly fine with working for imperialist wars across the globe

How did you get that? I literally complained that people who work have to pay for the rich. I shouldn’t be paying for anyone as long as the rich hoard their wealth. I’m happy to pay to build a better society I actually want to contribute but not while people with many orders of magnitude more wealth than me are hoarding and grifting. They pay a lower effective tax rate, money that could easily fund these programs. That being said I don’t think I interpreted the meme well, those people look like well off boomers so I wasn’t getting the poor elderly in a home who doesn’t have enough to buy bread vibes. Anyway until the wealthy stop acting like cancers on society I’m not going to be happy that I’m the one that has to pay but as long as they are not I’m happy to support the poor.

If you actually believed this, you wouldn't work. You don't really believe it, though.
