Sure, our polls mean nothing, but think about the money you can save!!!
Women fought for the right to choose to work. Capitalism saw that as an opportunity to force both parents to work.
Now we have the worst of both worlds: wages are often too low to support a parent dedicated to caregiving, while two working parents are often not rich enough to pay for a full-time nanny.
Of course, that goes without saying.

1·5 days agoAnd not one mention about how the trip was… No one can tell me they didn’t try!
The 1950s were great (for white people) because wages were high enough to pay for a house and support a family of five, with only one parent needing to work - even for ‘untrained labor’ jobs.
This was made possible by higher taxes for the rich and strong unions. Both disappeared, and the effects are evident.

2·8 days agoWage slavery. The US is one of the worst offenders. By binding your healthcare to your employer and having next to no worker protection laws, the loss of your job might cause homelessness or death. Is that really a choice? Work or die? And with stagnating wages who has the financial security and time to fight for their rights?
This is of course by design.


NATO is a fucking defensive pact. It should not help with attacking a nation.
For the same reason Russias aversion against Ukraine joining NATO only makes sense if they planed on attacking Ukraine (which they did, big surprise).
