    Kids should be raised by their parents not by salaried strangers that don’t really give a fuck about them other than to earn their paycheck.

    Cool idea. Those parents gotta earn a paycheck too, tho.

      Yes, but let’s not act that this is nothing but putting on a band aid on the real issue. A real fix would be paying one of the parents a salary to raise their kids until they are of school age at least.

        Clearly, if it isn’t perfect we must throw it out and demand that nothing be done until perfection is reached.

          Are you implying this is an improvement? this just putting a bandaid on a problem and that if “successful“, meaning it permits parents to work even more than they do now, it will become ossified into a permanent social arrangement. This is potentially if not more destructive as an economic system built with the expectation that there are two salaries in a household.

          This is progress only if progress is defined as capitalism adapting to further exploit people and eliminate any sense of family in favor of individualism. It’s sick honestly.
