Comi pollo. (I ate chicken)
Comia pollo. (I was eating chicken?)
Estuve comiendo pollo (I was eating chicken)

They all mean pretty much the same thing, right?

"but we sometimes forget how recent a feature of society such public services are"

here's the context.
(I'm a spanish native speaker and I can't find a translation for it, if you do not speak spanish, please explain me the menaing in English)

Broad-based access to these social institutions has been key to the security and prosperity of
people in wealthy nations, but we sometimes forget how recent a feature of society such public
services are. Almost sixty years ago, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights affirmed that
a decent standard of living, including access to health and education, were fundamental
human rights. Subsequent international agreements legally committed governments to
progressive realisation of social rights, including the right to water.

Like should they be required to learn English, do you think it's fair for Americans to learn a foreign language simply because the immigrants to not understand English?

In the following sentence, I do not get the meaning of the 2nd paragraph, could you help me understand it. please.

In the case of Mario, the injured dry cleaner, the State Workers Compensation Commission recently ordered the employer to pay his $10,000 medical bill plus four months of disability pay. His lawyer has been trying to collect the money.

"They [the employer] say they won't pay. They plead poverty," said attorney James Geraghty, to whom Mario was referred by other immigrants.

The owner of the dry cleaning business could not be reached, while a daughter working there would say only that the accident was Mario's fault.
