My US city does this. Says it's federally funded.

It's been going on for a long time, too. I took my kids to a rec center playground in the early 2000s, and someone came out of the building and announced lunch. We didn't go in with the others, but then she came over to us and said all kids get to eat, doesn't matter who, as long as they're children.

As a person currently in the DMV, I can confirm this is absolutely not true. Especially in NOVA, they dropped masks earlier than the rest of us sad sacks in DC/MD.

In some of the poorer areas in MD you might find 10% masked at most, I’ll give you that, otherwise the only way your story makes sense is you’re shopping at a Whole Foods attached to a hospital for old people lol

maybe it depends where you live, I live in northern virginia i.e. DC, go into a grocery store or something most employees and about half the customers are masked up. I know that there is a big cultural difference between the north and south, especially in terms of down there people don't live on top of each other like they do here. But its not exactly uncommon, at least again in high population areas

And to answer your question they did go into what the execs did - including the internal emails they sent saying how they wanted to take them down - and questioned the prosecutor why they were not charged. They definitly didn't come out looking good. I would hope that this gets more attention now and they suffer consequences

But… how will the children learn about the punishment they deserve? The free market must teach them the vital lesson of brutal capitalism. Giving them free lunch is basically socialism, let them starve and learn the truth /s

Atleast in America we’ve got it figured out: 30 - 40% child hunger rates, with republicans lock step in opposition towards food programs that dare threaten to reduce hunger. Yeah that’ll teach those entitled little brats
