US consumer watchdog finds that school lunch fees are taking a toll on parents
  • My school district in Florida uses a payment service called "My School Bucks". I use it to reload the cafeteria account, but also to pay for other things like before and after school. So far they haven't charged a use fee. Lunch is about 3.25 (my kid doesn't buy it often), but breakfast is free.

    Excuse me sir, could you spare an Epipen?
  • No, but if there's a decent possibility that you might die if someone is not careful with your food, and you don't have access to an epi pen, then why risk your life for a single meal?

  • If you're going to be pedantic, at least be correct. America is an entire continent, with over 30 countries. You're referring only to the United States of America, a single country.

    ‘The time is right’ for US to catch up on high-speed rail, says British Amtrak exec
  • We have a new Brightline in Florida that goes from Orlando to Miami and has about 5 stops in between. It's not super fast (it takes about 3.5h, which is similar to driving), and it can get expensive for a family, but not having to drive on I-95 in South Florida is worth every penny.

    it seems to be very popular so far.

  • I haven't used cash in like a decade, but I still need to carry my cards, ID and insurance cards just in case. Where else do people carry things?

  • Oh, man. I can't imagine living with no sun. I'm in Florida and this past "Winter" there was a full 7 days where it was overcast. I almost cried.
