There are other countries where kids bring their own lunch. We always make sandwiches and a snack for our kids to bring to school.
I do think school-provided lunches are a great idea and if done right, would guarantee every kid equal access to healthy nutrition. Unfortunately we don't have that in NL, and clearly the powers that be don't want it in the US either.
But punishing kids for lunch debt is nuts. That's absolutely a symptom of the US wanting everybody to live in debt.
The US was absolutely the world leader after WW2. The entire system for global trade and finance has been designed by and around the US, and everybody played ball.
Obviously "leader of the free world" should come with some annotations about what they mean with "freedom", and the US has absolutely been complicit in overthrowing some democracies and supporting dictatorships, but it's indisputable that they've had a position of leadership among free and democratic countries; the US did often set the standard, and got what they wanted.
And for a long time, the things they wanted weren't always just for the good of the US, but good for many countries and possibly the world, at least from some perspective. The US has pressured many other colonial powers to release their colonies, for example.
Of course they were also often wrong, and often disastrously so, but that rarely hurt their position of leadership. Until now. Actually until Bush started the Iraq war; that was the first real dent in US credibility. Obama did a lot to repair it, and then Trump flushed it down the toilet.
From what I know, those agents can be absolutely fantastic as long as they run under strict guidance of a senior developer who really knows how to use them. Fully autonomous agents sound like a terrible idea.
Ooh! I need to look that up.
I recently wanted to send a file from Linux to an old tablet over Bluetooth. Can't be done apparently. I can send it to my phone, a windows laptop can send it to the tablet, but my Linux PC apparently can't. Still baffled about it.
Turns out they're not quite corrupt enough for his taste.
I'm actually fine with them stopping that one. Leave it to the kid to decide.
D is the correct answer, but do you trust a game show to know that?
My son taught himself English by setting Minecraft to English. Once he mastered that, he set it to Pirate.
The American obsession with bathroom segregation is weird. In other countries, women will sometimes use the men's bathroom when there's a long line in front of the women's and not the men's. Fathers needing to change a diaper on their kid sometimes use the baby changing station in the women's bathroom if that's where it's located (though that's increasingly being fixed).
This is not something that requires excessive legislation if you can avoid obsessing over other people's genitals.
Throwing kids' lunch away should be illegal. What if s kid has special dietary requirements? But if a school does throw it away, they have an obligation to provide a free lunch that's at least as good.
