Richest country in the history of the planet, and we have "lunch debt" for kids in school.

They held my high school diploma for 6 months because I had $20 dollar deficit.

They never got the money because my dad threatened a lawsuit.

My school held someone's diploma to the max legal limit (like 6 months) because they did a twirl when walking on stage to get the fake diploma case thing.

Many US schools are more oppressive than some other country's prisons
