>They go to a school for a decade and don't have to worry about sleeping out in the rain or going hungry. [...] but that is not an issue even for poor people in the west. Ooof. Just FYI this is actually horribly out of touch with reality. Go talk to a social worker sometime, or someone that runs a soup kitchen/shelter. Or just check out the official government stats for the US: https://www.ers.usda.gov/topics/food-nutrition-assistance/food-security-in-the-us/key-statistics-graphics.aspx#children https://www.ers.usda.gov/topics/food-nutrition-assistance/fo...
