Well we agree on that. In the US school food is heavily subsidized and provided for free if poor. And a kid using some ambition and hard work towards a charitable end is exactly the definition of society not letting someone starve. Although no one starved in the story, nor was there any real danger of that even if this commendable kid hadn't decided to help. So in summary, you get upset when you read a story that perfectly illustrates the type of society you desire to live in? Or does individual motivation and charity bother you instead of it being handled by a cold, inefficient bureaucracy thereby absolving and demotivating individuals to ever elect to act charitably or selflessly? Or possibly it bothers you that there are parents that are so selfish they would shirk their basic responsibilities to provide for their children's basic care? If the latter, then yes, I would agree is disheartening.

You responded to my comment implying that you were not an American. When I said we (America) did not decimate your (Europe's) economy, you responded implying you were European.

What? Read my original comment. We did not decimate Europes economy. That was my point. They did it to themselves.

I do take issue with this but luckily where i live cafeteria food in schools is heavily subsidized and provided for free if you are poor. And yes, i do think a society should not let someone starve merely because they are too poor to afford food and i‘m lucky that‘s not how it works here

This take is so childish and economically illiterate it's difficult to know where to begin. Do you take issue with the fact that parents are the party primarily responsible for providing for their children? Or do you resent the fact that valuable things have value?

I clicked on r/mademesmile and the first thing I saw was a man wearing a dress and dancing with a child, unfortunately the majority of big subreddits are full of propaganda

78 studio albums

31 live albums

10 compilation albums

The secret to success in jazz is to just keep producing content. You’re bound to eventually have something stick, and then you get to play on everyone else’s albums too because your name means something.

Not to diminish Chick’s accomplishments though. He, and his contemporaries like Herbie Hancock, invented new forms of jazz fusion.
