    Ah yes. So we should just have the kids sit a home alone and starve right? Shaming people for having jobs and not being able to afford a one-icome household is not the fucking answer. They’re not gonna magically have the time and resources to take care of their kids.

    This is a wonderful thing, and I hope it does well so other states will follow suit.

      You will see one day how this simply allows the very sick system to continue to thrive and exploit people in the interest of capital.

        So if you want to have a kid in this ideal society of yours, what happens? The party forces you to stay home, abandon your interests so you can devote all your time to raising proper party members?

        We all need help sometimes. This is a generally good thing. I’m sure it will have flaws, like school lunch programs (the food is usually processed and nasty), it’s still better than not having it and it is a step towards recognizing we need to support eachother to make this work for everyone.

          The irony of you saying that while approving of the state raising kids.

          In this ideal society of yours the conditions force you to work 80 hours a week so you can live, but don’t you worry about raising your kids they are being taken care of by the state to be Dutiful Members Of Society™️.

          Remember when the liberation of women was about choice? Do women really have a choice now a days? Or do they have to work even when they (or their partner) would rather stay at home with their kids because the system evolved to assume dual incomes? This is the next step, the system will assume that you do not have to take care of your children or family members, they will provide for that so that you can be a productive member of society. How grand!
