- Economics divides itself into two.
- Macroeconomics is about how the whole economy works, and it's what we always see the talking heads on TV chattering away about.
- It's this: “The government's school feeding initiative is set for a major expansion in 2027, with plans to increase coverage from 3.1 million to around 11 million students at government primary schools across the country.” We could just say that parents should feed their kids at home and that's that.
