"According to Haspel, the system also wrongly treats childcare like a market good, akin to a gym membership or a meal at a restaurant, instead of a social good, like a fire dept or school. “The economic model doesn’t work... because we’ve miscast the service as an individual commodity,” he said."
How did childcare in the US become so absurdly expensive?
Families are taking out lines of credit, working second jobs, commuting for hours and forgoing careers. It doesn’t need to be this way, experts say

No homelessness

You want to know how?
Finland only has 7 billionaires, the richest of which is worth $2.83 Billion
“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

Reminder to both U.S. residents and Canadians that everyone out there right now badly needs to understand what a tariff is, how they work, AND WHO PAYS FOR THEM.

Hint: Not surprisingly, almost everything Trump says about tariffs, Canada, Mexico, and the EU is a lie.

Please watch and share.
IMPORTANT: If you live in the United States or Canada, you’ve probably heard Trump‘s constant claim that the United States is “subsidizing” Canada. It’s wrong of course, but here’s the best explanation I’ve seen about how & why it’s wrong. PLEASE WATCH & SHARE IT A LOT. Kudos to Andrew Chang & CBC.
