🧵I want to talk about what the school meals cliff means in real terms.

Let's say you're a family of four making $52,000 a year, with one kid in elementary school and one in middle school.

1.Domestic workers (house cleaners, nannies, home caregivers) are often excluded from labor laws across the globe; worldwide only 10% have the same labor rights as other workers. WHY?!? Aren't they workers? Shouldn't they have the same rights that other workers have?
