The indirect benefits of free lunches

Screenshot of a tweet taken from yet another social network but summarize that it is a note to summarize a quote of a quote here a paper from the National Bureau of economic research showing a result that free lunch programs reduce the amount that parents spend at grocery stores which makes grocery stores cut their prices because demand is down and so everyone in the area gets lower grocery prices

Kamala Harris is proposing a LAUNCHPAD for young Americans: $6,000 child tax credit $25,000 tax credit to buy your first home $50,000 tax credit to start your own business Literally NO ONE has tried to give a badly-needed boost like this to Millennials and Gen Z -- until now

Eric Adams is amazing because when he won every media person was leaping over each to go ā€œthis is the normal sane leadership that the political left doesnā€™t understand normal sane Americans craveā€ and then every day since that Eric Adams has been like ā€œLeprechauns are real and Iā€™m going to cook oneā€

Going to posit that this might be a sign that grad stipends are finally catching up to living costs. I look forward to the footnote from a micro economist thanking me for sparking the idea for the leftover food theory of pay sufficiency.
