Study / School meals in Poland [145]

Do pay attention; we're talking about Poland.

Really jon, who is "we" ?

In the U.K., all kids are the local authority's responsibility anyway

I thought you said we were talking about Poland ?

Education is free too.

Nothing is free jon.
Didn't you just say in your above quote that "they need to be very well funded ?"
Where do those FREE FUNDS come from jon ?
Do you even know what you post or do you really think you can bamboozle people with your baffling b.s. ?

or even a first breakfast (plenty of kids in Poland don't), that need to be fed.

Now wait, you can't have it both ways jon, first you say how some children are being denied food and then in your next breath you say what a good meal service the schools have.

You are starting to find out that free education isn't so free.

It is here.

families that are struggling to cope - If it was that cheap, schools wouldn't be short of money.

How can schools be short of money if they are free ?
AGAIN jon, as I have told you, you can't have it both ways.
The E.U. economy is doing quite well you say.......compared to who, Venezuela ?
Now please just stay on topic and quit trying to confuse the issue.

In most places, the ideal is to support families that are struggling to cope, help them to manage life better

We do here in the U.S.A. jon and it is called the Foodstamp program and the Manna Project not to mention the churches food pantry's full of free food.

No one goes hungry here in the U.S.A.

If it was that cheap, schools wouldn't be short of money.

Naw, Socialism is just catching up with ya'll and you are starting to find out that free education isn't so free.
Priorities jon.

The costs, especially in a district with high population density and high povert6 levels, quickly mount up.

Understandably as we know how the E.U. is economically in dire straights as the economy keeps getting worse there.
Socialism works great until the other guys money runs out jon and it sounds like the other guys money is running out.

In your ideal and nonexistent world, yes. In the real world, not parents live up to that ideal.

Then they end up in family court here in the U.S. in my ideal existent world.
And you Brits wonder why we have so many people incarcerated in the U.S.
Because we hold people accountable for crimes like not feeding their kids and letting them run without guidance.

Of course if a school has to feed kids (as they should), then they need to be very well funded.

Not really as feeding kids foods like spaghetti, goulash, baked beans with hotdogs, coleslaw ect. that kids like are quite cheap.

Jim is right,

James to you Coldslaw.

a good education regardless of how poor the parenting is.

Parents are apart of a child's education.
If a parent refuses to responsibly feed their children properly then have them arrested for neglect.
Once the kid walks into to school they become the schools responsibility and if the school doesn't want to feed them properly shut the damn school down.

Like I said, kids love spaghetti and you can make a truck load of it for $20 so what's the problem.

I once asked a little guy if he'd had breakfast

So what the hell is wrong with his lazy ass mother that she couldn't fry him some potato's and onions sprinkled with some cheese ?

Or fry him and egg with some toast ?
There is no excuse for such child abuse ......NONE !
For the price of a bottle of vodka and a pack of smokes you could feed a kid spaghetti all week.

How about introducing kids to different tastes? Maybe some mushroom gravy?

Exactly Lenka and send the recipe home to Mom.
Mushroom gravy over some potato's or rice or even a slice of bread for starters.
There is no excuse besides ignorance and neglect.

Which supports my saying, "If ya can't feed them, don't breed them".

And that's why you need to watch a child's salt intake.

Sugar is much worse than salt for you.

for some students that school dinner might be the only decent meal they get.

Very true in America also.

I've had a couple of people contact me about my DT and NVDA stocks.
YES, I sold both of them this last Tuesday along with several others.
I am burnt out on day trading and need a break.
Time for some French Vanilla ice cream and a nap.

@Ziemowit
I have decided to sell all my stocks except for four of the blue chips that have nice dividends.
I bought all four of them from the bargain basement so will do very well on them when the market comes back.
The rest will be sold by the end of this week.
I bought a very nice fishing boat and plan on spending as much time on it as I can this winter Ziemowit.
Trading stocks to make money takes a lot of time and energy.
(and coming here between trades every day has become a waste of time management also)
I have made enough money in my life and now it's time to enjoy it as the time part is running out on me.

Jordan is 180° from Alanston and you said you live there.

No, Coldslaw said I lived in Alanson.

Can you help with a church

I already told you in my quote below this Slim....

Oh, then I wouldn't know. I know more about the restaurants and bars in that area but not that much about the Evangelical churches.

Now, "why do you play games" and not tell us what country YOU live in.

Evangelical, not Evangelist.

I live closer to East Jordon out in the country.
Sorry I was of no help.
Now what country are you from ?

That all sounds very logical.
Your double top May 18 and May 20th really isn't a double top though.
Maybe you are talking about the S&P, very short term.
On Monday this week the index hit 2980 then down to 2910 on Tuesday.
Then yesterday back to 2980.
So there were two little peaks, but that usually wouldn't be considered a double top.
Double tops, or bottoms, generally have one or two months in between.

He's near Boyne City.Sorry. Works near Boyne, staying in Petoskey.

This is getting better by the minute.
There are well over a hundred Evangelist churches within that area.
If he was a real person he could contact one of the local Chamber of Commerce's.
Or suggest he use his google.
I am "shocked" that your imaginary friend can't ask his co-workers such a question.

What country are you from ?

I don't see a double top in the S&P index.
However, our S&P index has steadily been moving higher for the past two months, going from 2200 to 2970.
That's a 34% increase without stopping for a pause.
There is a zone of resistance hanging just above where we are now, at about 2980.
Prices often stall when they get near resistance.
So yes, I wouldn't be surprised to see a pull back.
Could even be 12-13%, at the worst.
And that could be caused by a second spike in virus cases once states begin to open up.
But, right now, the trend is up and I don't change my strategy until the market actually begins to move in one direction or the other.

Keep in mind that the market has been extremely volatile.
Some days the S&P has moved 2 or 2.5% in just one day.
So, a 4-7% correction isn't really that unusual.

He should have no problem as I have never experienced an unfriendly church.
Where do you live that you wouldn't know this Lazaruslaw ?
Tell him to contact his local "Welcome Wagon" in the area.

All right delph ........that was a sucker bet.
I have to spot you 7 times so we have equal investments.
A 100 shares of AMD was at $50+ a share so times seven = $35,000.
A 100 shares of NVDA was $350+ a share so that already = $35,000 investment.
There now we each have hypothetically invested $35k.
So far today my investment of NVDA is up almost $10 a share or $1000.
Your AMD is up about 65 cents a share x 7 = $4.55 up almost $455.
This could all change instantly at any moment so I don't get to excited.
A Day Trader would cash out and take their $1000 profit.
My DT is just shy of $36 a share today which is double what I paid for it.
When it hits that magic $36 I sell half and play on their money for the next year for free collecting the dividends.
Work work work...............

DT just hit $37 (that I bought for $18) so I sold half (250 shares) and am now playing on their money.
Next.............
Doesn't anyone here play the market besides me ?

I doubt they can challenge Nvidia's dominance in graphics.

I think you may be correct.
AMD is more semi conductors.
Nvidia expanded its presence in the gaming industry (graphics) with its handheld Shield Portable, Shield Tablet, and Shield Android TV.
NVDA earnings report comes out Thursday which may kill me or make me look like a genius.
I already missed out on the big run as I could have bought NADA May 1st for about $280 a share.
Now three weeks later it is at $350. (owning a 100 shares would have made you $7000 in those three weeks)
AMD is a good company but what I have read about them they will be facing some headwinds this year to hold them back.
I could be wrong so lets see for the fun of it who buys who dinner and a bottle of wine older then our grandmothers delph.

You hypothetically buy 100 shares of AMD at it's todays price of $55 a share.
I have bought 100 shares of NVDA at todays price of $350 a share.
Let see.....say in six months from now which one of us made the most. (Throw them dice) lol
May the shrewdest of us win.

You have to have different strategies for different stocks.
Like this one I just bought last week NVDA is a long term stock strategy as I think it will pay me more than a C.D. in a bank over time like my AT&T.

Now the day trading is completely different approach.
If I buy something for short term and it drops below say 7% I sell and move on.
I hope your wife does well Joker.
Tell her not to be a nervous nelly and panic as once this economy opens back up the market is going to go nuts for those have money to invest or have invested already.

I have waited for an opportunity like this all my life.

DT hit $32 a share yesterday .......up $14 a share in six weeks.

Remember I bought it at $18 on March 21st. ?
DT is closing in on $35 a share this morning (May 18th two months later) up $17 + a share.
SO when it hits $36 a share I will have doubled my money and sell half and then be playing with their money.
Last week on May 13th I bought 100 share of NVDA at $311 a share.
Today May 18th it just hit $352 a share.
This is my next new throw of the dice in the Wall Street Casino.
Keep an eye on this one Cargo.
One of these days my luck is going to run out so you can all mock my trading skills.
Nothing good ever lasts.

Why would you expose your children to all of that jon ?
You are projecting your nonsense to justify your examples that are highly unlikely.
Besides the 'golden showers' has been proven Fake News / a lie along, with most of the rest of the dossier that it was printed in.

Holding hands is one thing, bumping and grinding and slobbering on each other in a public parade is quite a bit different.

Because their brains are not emotionally developed yet to understand which confuses them and then they turnout like you that doesn't know which bathroom to use.

Of course these confused children are fresh meat for sick homosexuals that steal the innocence of these children leaving them scarred for life. (no pun intended)

Children from anyplace in the world should not be exposed to seeing or reading about pornographic acts.
At least in the one-third of Poland that is LGBTQ Free the children know which bathroom to use.
How about you cms, do you give your children male on male magazines to read with graphic illustrations ?

Regardless Z, the people don't want their children fed this propaganda to be brainwashed with that it is o.k. to bump and grind in public to promote an agenda.

NO, No it is not o.k. and will not be tolerated seen by the creation of these Free Zones of such ilk.
What people do in the privacy of their homes is one thing but forcing it down the publics throat (no pun intended) is quite another.

Oh, you mean where the Church is still taken seriously.
Isn't that special.
Just like people in the U.S. that want Socialism....NO, this country was founded on Capitalism and has worked great.
Same in Poland, the Church is the foundation of Poland and it has worked just fine.
Poland knows enough to call sin sin and homosexuality is immoral sin.
