Lose trillions of dollars? Taxpayer bailout
Have $7.00 food debt? Cheese sandwich you little punk.

Man this country is effed up.

what really bothers me is this is the kind of thing that can be fixed by lazy people getting off their asses and, I don't know, actually talking to one another. If the policy was being violated they should have asked Della about it and when she explained what was happening, if the admins had just called the parents chances are this was just a simple matter of forgetting to make a payment that could have been rectified in 5 minutes. and if they couldn't make a payment chances are the student could have signed up for free lunch. instead you have this half assed "policy" and admins just firing Della because they are too lazy to look into the situation. Its pathetic.
