    then why are companies in all industries reducing cost?

    It’s to maximise profit, which is the goal of every company, also the consumer of a product is not necesarily the one who pays for it, there are enough catering services that provide high quality food, but the reason the cheapest is chosen is, because in the example of school lunches both, the service provider and customer are trying to minimise cost, the company in order to increase profits and the school/city because they’re underfunded

      You think you’re gonna make a lot of money producing garbage? Who’s going to buy it? Maybe communist schools where the people in charge don’t have to eat it.

        You think you’re gonna make a lot of money producing garbage? Who’s going to buy it?

        As always, the people either given no other choice or no other choice that they can afford. In other words, tens of millions of people.

        Maybe communist schools where the people in charge don’t have to eat it.

        You DO know that school lunches are for the children only, right? And that the ones selecting suppliers aren’t actually children? Please tell me that you’re able to comprehend that through the fog of neo-McCarthyist delirium…

        no, actually underfunded capitalist schools, that are lead like a company and not like an educational institution

        remember, the less money the city has to spend on school lunches the more they can overfund their police

          You’re mislabeling. Public schools are government funded and centrally administrated. That’s communism, boi.

          The private schools in the other hand, are doing very well. It’s just a shame that not everyone can afford them.

          Police are definitely over funded. I’m not arguing about that. It’s just that literally nothing our government does is actually capitalism.

            Nope, that’s one of the most basic functions of any form of government.

            Not anarcho-capitalism ≠ communism.

            YOU are the one mislabeling, to the point of absurdity.
