Instead of normalizing the new right, this is the kind of policy Dems really need to lean into if they’re really concerned about attracting “moderates” without losing their base.
If this scaled, along with public education, you could literally house the child care and public campuses under the same roof. Kids would grow up with friends they made as toddlers, etc. Really would be fantastic
In before the executive order calling this communism cancels this.
“States rights!”
*looks at new mexico
“Federal law rules!”
Not against it, but I bet the red hats will probably react in this manner
I’m happy about this policy…
but my invincible anxiety takes my mind straight to the predictable Maga backlash and then I get so f***ing enraged
they literally want all non-white babies to die, either by starvation or police bullets…
That’s pretty awesome.
Also, reading other comments, holy fuck, y’all don’t want good news, y’all want to be miserable. Why even read this sub?
“Chicken safely crosses road”
Comment: I bet the chicken is racist.
because it makes people feel good to be miserable and feel morally superior to declare everything racist/bigoted/whatever.
a lot of people don’t genuinely engage with content. they are just there to be trolls. or they are bots.
the point is making comments like that though, drive engagement. good news doesn’t drive engagement.
FWIW i used to be part of a really cool bicycle group. Then a bunch of miserable people choices and decided everything we did was racist and sexist and anti-trans. If you dared to say that isn’t the case, they would tell you that it’s because YOU are racist/sexist/anti-trans. These were the same people who spend all their free time making social media posts about how awful everyone is and how great they are. Their entire social world is limited to ‘i am good people and everyone else who isn’t like me is bad people’ and they subsist on a diet of social media induced RAGE at the ‘bad people’.
In Europe, they have raised, covered chicken bridges every few blocks, so this isn’t even an issue. Also public transportation and smaller cars, so they can actually see a damn chicken over the hood of their tiny, perfect baby cars.
It’s always a white chicken.
The multitude of black and brown chickens were denied road access by the oppressive system, but the poor white chickens who were also denied access kept voting along tribal linesto keep the system in place.
model for the nation
Still decades behind other developed countries but sure, better late than never
Don’t worry though, trump will label this Dei within a month and it’ll be torn down by trump ass lickers
Jesus just give up quietly so everybody else doesn’t have to hear this limp talk.
Encourage good things, people, or do not discourage them.
Mind if I go live next to you under that giant stone?
There is pessimism and there is realism
Pessimism - Everything is bad and will continue to be bad
Realism - Everything is bad but we can do better
Realism: everything is bad and could get better and maybe even might get better someday but for the foreseeable future, possibly even an entire generation, things will be getting much, MUCH worse.
Trump might kill us, climate change likely will kill at least one of us, and on both fronts, instead of making it better were making it worse
Great article! It presents dimensions to the issue that I had never considered before. I hope other states take notice. I ought to reach out to my representative and senator.
you know what’s also free though?
Shutting the fuck up?
How is the childcare being funded? Are the childcare providers being paid a living wage? Is it being funded under the same umbrella as elementary schools?
