The year is 2056. The 30th doctor is David Tennant. He took over from David Tennant. His companion is played by David Tennant. The villain is David Tennant as David Tennant. The showrunner is David Tennant. You hear a knock on the door. It's David Tennant. He gives you a pocket watch. You open it and remember who you are. You were David Tennant all along.

I went to a school district where it switched over to free lunch for everyone when I was in high school and before that I saw people go into lunch debt and have to take the cold lunch set aside for kids that couldn’t pay and it was always embarrassing for them. And technically those people’s families didn’t qualify for free lunch. But still their families couldn’t or wouldn’t pay for their lunch.

Once everyone got free lunch though there was no more embarrassment for anyone. And I started eating breakfast at school too because the breakfast my family gave me wasn’t always enough and I didn’t wanna be a bother by asking for more or asking for money to get breakfast at school. A lot more people started eating breakfast actually. Everyone got hot lunch. Everyone benefited. Poor families that couldn’t afford it, lower middle class families like mine who could put the spare money to use elsewhere, and anyone who just wanted extra breakfast and a hot lunch. It was an incredibly positive change for everyone.

Free school lunch makes life better for all students and also removes a layer of logistics that everyone needs to keep track of. The lunch line started going way faster because instead of waiting for people to add money to their lunch accounts we could just scan our lunch cards and move on.

We have such a long way to go to unlearn capitalism, if there can be literally any debate in whether we should feed children. Literally what is the point of a society that can't even get that right? Why the fuck do we do anything?!

It's crazy that we need proof that doing basic good things is a good thing

In NYC, during and after pandemic, the city gave all the parents with kids in the city schools SNAP cards--that is, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program cards, that is, "food stamps"--to make up for the now free lunches the kids now weren't getting in school. So suddenly all sorts of parents of every income level had and were using SNAP--and swear to God, it was one of the best things that ever happened, because I could see how at the beginning the checkout people and others would get all wary and suspicious of you when you moved to pay with SNAP, except there were now all sorts of people using it, it was normalized, and the clerks' attitudes changed toward everybody and the attitudes of people behind you on line changed, because it wasn't just "those" people, poor people, using it. It was the whole neighborhood.

All benefits should be for everybody - as the OP says, there are very few rich people anyway, and when school lunch is free for everyone, its not a stigma to get free lunch, and when everyone has a SNAP card, it's not a stigma to use SNAP!

hey netizens! i'm not sure how many people are aware, but youtube's been slowly rolling out a new anti-adblock policy that can't be bypassed with the usual software like uBlock Origin and Pi-Hole out of the gate

BUT, if you're a uBlock Origin user (or use an adblocker with a similar cosmetics modifier), you can add these commands in the uBlock dashboard (under My Filters) to get rid of it!

youtube.com##+js(set, yt.config_.openPopupConfig.supportedPopups.adBlockMessageViewModel, false) youtube.com##+js(set, Object.prototype.adBlocksFound, 0) youtube.com##+js(set, ytplayer.config.args.raw_player_response.adPlacements, []) youtube.com##+js(set, Object.prototype.hasAllowedInstreamAd, true)

Also, if you’ve taken more than a high school economics course taught by someone who has never stepped foot in a college economics class,

Giving $500 to poor people multiplies it REALLY FAST. That $500 immediately goes into the economy and ripples more purchases until it hits a rich pocket.

Giving $500 to a billionaire takes $500 out of the economy permenantly. You could have set it on fire and made no difference.
