The big issue I’ve seen with them is that school cafeterias in middle-class districts aren’t sized to feed every student, so you end up with queues long enough that kids who want to get the free food end up missing part of class. The right answer to this is of course to renovate the school and add cafeteria capacity.
Problem is that once you have a dictatorship, you don’t suddenly go back to elections and normal politics once the dictator dies — you get the dictator’s kid or friend running things.
The rich have longer lifespans than the poor due to better access to medical care. I’m not going to count on it, especially when once you end democracy, you thend end up with the kids or friends of the dictator taking over after he dies, rather than a return to democracy.
Once democracy is dead, his death won’t take us back to what we have today — we’ll end up with one of his kids or buddies running the show, and that can be even worse.
