      Yes, but it often works the other way. I’ve gone to school in Asia, Europe and Australia. IME lunch ladies will let some kids tick food up when they lack the funds.

      Some kids pay it back, but I know for a fact many come from families who lack the means and they let it slide.

      Ironic seeing a country like the USA so obsessed with Jesus being as far from his teachings as you can go.

      Maybe we should do what Israel does and give people a monthly $260 per child payment until the child turns 18? I mean we pay for it there so why not implement it here?
