My daycare is about $12k/year, which seems quite a bit lower than tuition but still feels like a fuck ton when i have to cut a check lol.

That website seems weird. It's from the UK (.UK) and I have to get to the fifth paragraph to even know they are talking about the USA. I'm not knocking the validity of the site, I have no idea. But they need to do better marking what stories are about the USA because as a default when you don't say in the story where it's from it's assumed it's about the UK being a UK site. --- "No. I'm a man so theyll get me a full size McDouble." - DuncanWii https://i.imgur.com/cSxy3Od.png ...

I'm sure 50% of American parents have had the 'one of us might as well quit our job because it's just gonna pay for daycare anyway' talk. Especially if you're not married.

We're almost at step three of Reagan's axiom Governments view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it. There was a time, not long ago, when the old lady on the third floor would watch everyone's kids, for enough to feed them and maybe some extra pocket money. Then, she was declared an "unlicensed daycare", possibly even arrested, and now everyone has to go halfway across town to a place that charges exorbitant rates. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Daycare should be free. Why cant the government step in and set up tax paid daycare centers? Having someone care for the children is a human right. Daycare owners shouldnt be allowed to be for profit and exploiting that right. --- https://i.imgur.com/EX6Md7k.gif https://i.imgur.com/ygAzHKB.mp4 https://i.imgur.com/c84omp7.gif https://i.imgur.com/Hj9RrC6.mp4 ...

Questionmarktarius posted... We're almost at step three of Reagan's axiom There are already child care subsidies for poor people. Not sure about other states but in AZ you can get a daycare subsidy if the household income is 165% or less than the federal poverty line. --- Posted from my iPhone 13 ... Copied to Clipboard!

Part of why childcare is so expensive is because of the strict regulations around it: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2021-11-18/biden-s-build-back-better-wants-to-save-america-s-child-care-business Thats because child care doesnt work like a normal business. Looking after young children comes with a litany of regulations to ensure the programs are safe. There are square footage requirements, zoning restrictions, earthquake preparedness plans, fire safety codes, CPR certifications, nutritional guidelines, rules about parking and outdoor space, liability insurance.But the regulations that surround it exist so that your children don't die. The only ways to fix that issue are: 1) ease regulations 2) subsidize it (maybe vouchers on a sliding scale?) There's just no way, mathematically, to have good affordable childcare so long as we don't address one of those points. Here's some more from the same author in an NPR interview: https://www.npr.org/2021/12/16/1064794349/child-care-costs-biden-plan Other countries subsidize child care, but the U.S. market, while heavily regulated, is largely private which makes the industry particularly vulnerable. President Biden's Build Back Better plan outlines a path toward more affordable child care. Suddath says that's a start, but what's really needed is a full system overhaul. --- "You're sorely underestimating the power of nostalgia goggles." - adjl http://www.smbc-comics.com/comics/20110218.gif ...

Questionmarktarius posted... We're almost at step three of Reagan's axiom The question is, would people go back to this model if it became legal. I'm sure a good amount would, but I don't know. Child safetyism seems to have increased over the years, for good and bad reasons, so I'd imagine it'd be hard to get people back to that mindset. For many, all those minimum worker requirements and extras are selling points. --- http://avatar.xboxlive.com/avatar/emblem%20boy/avatar-body.png haters gonna hate ... Copied to Clipboard!
