    I don’t understand here.

    Back in my old time, cafeteria food was also shit, so everybody was bringing their lunch (a sandwich, some fruits, a little boxed juice) and we called a day.

    Is that piece of bread and rice (rice right?) and the piece of brown chicken we are seeing in the corner (badly cut out of the picture for more dramatic effect) free of charge? If so, what are you complaining about? If not, why don’t you bring your god damn sandwich like it has always been?

      If so, what are you complaining about?

      I believe their argument was something along the lines of: 1. Over-funded police. 2. Underfunded child care.

      Your argument seems to be, and correct me if I’m wrong: It’s always been shit, and you [sic] can bring your own lunch.

    Shit schools make poverty trapped children, and poverty tapped children are more willing to not care about the legality of trying to survive or gain reputation with their friends/city. And the police love locking away people.

    It’s a win/win. You lower the cash to schools, increase the cash to police, police catch more “Criminals”, and the politicians who sold this can tout the tough on crime to the next election cycle.

      And the low quality food means there is a bigger pool of low IQ aggressive high school graduates who want to join the police force.

      Until the criminals learn to bribe police more than what politicians give them, and start buying more and more cops, and puff you are in a dictatorship ran by thugs

      Wait, sorry nothing changes

    I mean, this isn’t specific to capitalism. Pretty sure north Korea is similar.

    This is just baseline authoritarianism.

      The NYPD has a bigger budget than the DPRK. And New York hasn’t been under siege by Pennsylvania for the last 80 years.

        The NYPD is also not in constant famine, they’re one of the richest cities on the planet.

        That’s like being surprised rent is more expensive in midtown Manhattan than in rural Texas.

          Because they’re an international trading hub at the central of a global empire.

          North Korea is a bombed out backwater with more economic sanctions on it than Cuba, whose people spent the last 70 years gradually rebuilding after the US literally bombed them back to the stone age.

          Even then, NYers are getting shot over proximity to fare evasion. Korea’s rough, but I’ve yet to hear of anyone executed for failing to pay for a bus ticket.

            I’m not the one who made the comparison.

            Also, bombed out? They were a larger economy than sk at first, Kim IL sung did an OK job.

            But the problem with a hereditary monarchy is the fastest sperm is often the dumbest, as evidenced by his 2 moron heirs.

            But no, his hereditary dystopian dictatorship where people are reduced to eating grass and anyone who disagrees ends up in camps is still better than NYC, where we know about incidents like this which everyone agreed was horrific because we have freedom of speech.

            But please, go to North Korea right now and start talking shit about Lil Un, I’m curious how that will go.

      I saw a meme that called Plainclothes Officers “Secret Police” and it made me realize how much we’re all brainwashed.

      I get what you are doing here but I think you are misled. The police has a monopoly on violence to protect the state apparatus and the ruling class. Protecting normal citizens is a means to an end of that, it never was the goal. The US police originated in a force that brought back run away slaves. Are we talking about run away slaves? Is there private property at risk? Is the school shooter threatened any organ of the state? So why bother? TLDR ACAB
