I had never heard of free lunch before the US. Don’t get me wrong, this is awesome but that was not something where I grew up (Europe). That being said, all education and higher education was basically free. No free lunches, but no crazy tuitions.

Where I live in norway it is not like you could buy lunch either. People made lunch at home and took to school. Usualy a piece of bread and slice of brown cheese. May be different in huge schools.
And anyways if someone had forgot, the teachers had a backup solution, for free.

Orphan Crushing Machine

Create post

A community featuring uplifting and wholesome news stories that overlook deeply ingrained systemic problems.

The rules:

1. Your post must be an unironic presentation of a wholesome story, but one that overlooks systemic failures that made the story possible in the first place. In other words, we want posts that highlight “Yay, the problem is solved!”, but ignore “Wait, why was this a problem in the first place?” at the same time.

2. Re-posts will be removed at mod discretion.

3. Sitewide rules apply. Basically, (a) don’t be a dick; (b) use the NSFW tag; © no spam; (d) don’t attack people; and (e) don’t abuse the report button.
