That's not quite the full truth, they can be expelled BUT the school loses funding for that student and is required to pay for an alternative, so this school like all do the calculus and 99% of them choose to keep funding rather than send the student out of district and potentially be on the hook to pay more than the student generates in district. Basically profits over people at work yet again.

It's gross how people are in here telling you how to be poor. If it's not possible, it's not possible. Who wants to eat microwaved food every single day or beens and rice and Ramen? If delivery is working for you, and you're paying in your circumstances then do that. I'm sorry people are so rude. The unmitigated gall to sit and call you lazy for not taking the solutions they themselves don't have to implement in their own lives. I know I can't see all the factors so I won't offer up solutions from my butt because it's insensitive. I hope you can get a suitable place and cook to your hearts desire soon. I lived with a person where I paid them rent and they didn't let me use the kitchen. I'd talk about it and people would be like just use it anyway or use the microwave etc, I was not allowed and that was that sobI spent a shit ton on take out food. Unless you're broke like that in the same situation you wouldn't understand.

I'd like to see some citations on this. Feudalism lasted a pretty long time...

EDIT: only Reddit would a request for citations be seen as an affront to the hivemind worth downvoting...
