Man, even the Soviet Union was able to provide free childcare. Really makes you think, doesn't it.


We had it better. We threw that away.

Instead of figuring out why and fixing that, you’d apparently prefer that we take a page from the soviets and further embed our social and economic regression into law.


We did figure it out: you give poor people money and services, and they stop being poor. This isn't magic, and your desire to endlessly hurt the people you hate will not change that.


The nativity of thinking we can solve poverty by just giving people money and services, as if individual choices are totally incidental to individual outcomes.

It must be oddly soothing to live in such a simple world of your own imagination, but that’s just not how people actually work. This isn’t magic, and your suicidal empathy for those you paint as systemically marginalized will never change that.


I personally prefer that 1/2 of my earnings go to funding department of war and corporate subsidies. fuck them kids and families :)
