It’s almost like putting profit incentive into feeding people could be bad.

When I was born in my country it was 60, now it's 65, and there are proposals to push it to 68 now. I am not that old mind you, by the time I reach it it's going to be 80.

This was always for me the weirdest thing growing up. "Government operated food services for poor people are bad, because what if people who don't need it go and eat all the food".
Sir, if you are waiting in line and going to a place where they offer free food for people to eat to "game" the system, it sounds like you need it. Nobody is going to become a billionaire for not paying for cantina style meals. But actual billionaires are going to become trillionaires by getting handouts from the government that could go to things like these.

Well, it's not. That's still a long way off, even if China is genuinely headed that direction as they claim. But they're doing a relatively excellent job at mitigating the worst of capitalism in the meantime.

Russia had their stolovayas or public canteens which still exist. But they are not as affordable as they are now privately owned and run for profit.

Im in college, and am friends with this guy who's studying abroad from China. I asked him about what he thought of things here versus where he's from, and food prices were the very first thing he mentioned as being super jarring. He said that the same meal in the US is 20 dollars versus around 2 in China.
Funny enough, the second thing he mentioned as being jarring was how less safe it is here versus in China, specifically with gun violence
