The United States federal government in 2020 embarked on a grand and beautiful experiment: expanding the use of tax dollars to help stave off poverty.

    I recently learned that some kids are in debt because they can’t afford school lunches. Truly the darkest timeline

      When I was in elementary school, they wouldn’t let you “graduate” to the next grade until you paid your food bill.

      Luckily I was poor and qualified for free lunches most years

      Yeah, it’s quite gross. This is really something that should be part of the school budget.

Beehaw’s community for socialists, communists, anarchists, and non-authoritarian leftists (this means anti-capitalists) of all stripes. A place for all leftist and labor news and discussion, as long as you’re nice about it.


Non-socialists are welcome to come to learn, though it’s hard to get to in-depth discussions if the community is constantly fighting over the basics. We ask that non-socialists please be respectful and try not to turn this into a “left vs right” debate forum by asking leading questions or by trying to draw others into a fight.
