Aint that a more recent development, ie after 2000/10. Were not sports for everyone at some point? Gen pop has not caught on that is now mostly for well off.
With that said, the point stands either way. Why is the tax payer funding this shit!
Businesses fleeced us good. Got bailouts and then priced gouged the plebs to ensure they don't keep a penny of that mythical 3k USD covid payment that lasted 3 years!
This was way better than 2008 for them. Next one gonna be so grand!
Over working people will do that even if you adequate social policy

Vehicles under $15k are 1.6% of the market, and their share of the market has dropped over 90% since 2019. The old advice that you can get a beater and drive it in to the ground for $5k hasn't been true for years but it still seems pervasive in personal finance spaces.
If we need to a charity to discharge food debt at school for students, it is indicative that we are live in degeneracy. About time we start calling this shit for what it is, instead of engaging in political circle jerks to make participants will feel good about their political "values"
Not sure where that comment is going. This is surely a good thing but it is a drop in a bucket. Adequate social policy is not remedied by one good act. Until every child has access to food at school, there is nothing really to celebrate. Which let's be real, won't be happening any time soon.
These companies provide prison grade food tho... we need either better vendors or the state needs to take over. Current situation is unacceptable from nutrition quality PoV unless the goal is to prep this kids to eat prison and/or fast food.
But I guess firs thing is to ensure that every child has a meal...
I saw documentary on one but it is not easy. School Districts are vehicles for corruption and they dole these contracts out to the big boys for kickbacks. Most of contract value gets wasted, ie not spend on quality of food but to grease the machine.
I hate landlords like the next serf but criminal law requires evidence to prosecute... So unless victim produces it or police find it, it doesn't look like there is a case.
so practically speaking not much of safety net unless you are old, or single poor mother, which i support no doubt but that is [not] a safety net a vast majority of the population.
also, note mental health services, food banks, soup kitchens >>> federal government and states hardly provide these, they are provided by private sector...
even those have been steadily eroded under successive administration since 1980s, which share of taxes paid by working people have been increasing. so working person pays more taxes and gets no safety net for the most part.
You need to get educated instead of vomiting generic talking points, it would help this country if everyone did the same.
Voting for either party is providing legitimacy to the regime. you are better off voting with your feet and money since that's the last place you still have some agency. political process is captured, voting third party is the only logical decision but none of them are really inspiring any confidence since they shill degeneracy.
