I hate seeing these articles as if those people should be thankful for the kindness of some random person instead of being angry that school lunch debt is something that actually exists.
I fucking hate massive corporations laundering their reputations like this. If they cared, they'd lobby for higher taxes on the rich to pay for free school meals and a bazillion other things that govt should provide but doesn't.
Exactly. Not to mention that there are states that had minor increases on the wealthiest of the state and made school lunches free. This country is abysmal.
This is also important to remember too, hopefully enough people realize it's an attempt at a pr boost.
I can do both. But I understand the point of view.
Why can't both be happening. Don't assume that they aren't aware and bothered by the school systems way of doing things.
