    So we’re now at the point where change is proposed to be imposed on poorer groups to save money for rich institutions, and done under the guise of it being “for the environment”.

    For example, instead of slashing costs, this could have been sold as providing better quality, nutrition and value for the same cost. I.e. Spend the same but get better food for the money.

    But no, they had to target financial greed and shitting on the poor, in this case students.

      Whatever works to cut emissions. It’s a harsh reality but poor people will have to sacrifice some. The alternative is far more material suffering.
