@BankonomicsGuy@Ankara_inc Agree. Imagine if he asked how old they were and suddenly learns the in-laws are 95 but instead just told them to sell in the middle of an underwater market? He has insufficient detail to give this advice.
She lives in Boston. Six-month-old baby. Needs childcare.
Walks into KinderCare and gets the quote:
$2,450 a month for just TWO days a week
$3,115 a month for three days
$200 annual “initiation” fee
This isn’t “a little expensive.” It’s economic punishment for having a child.
@foxmike90 What about lawyers with child care responsibilities they can’t meet with this short of notice? I agree we need candor to the court, but let’s also be realistic about making sure the profession includes mutual respect for people’s lives.
@Greg651 This is the kind of thing that drives me nuts. Lawyers are still people with lives. There is no reason this couldn’t wait until COB with a hearing the following morning. It’s also terrible for any lawyer who might need to get their kid to school or childcare early.
The elder care + childcare bind is going to be THE story of the next 5-10 years. Already starting. When your parents had you at 35-40, and you had your kids at 40, the convergence of everyone needing you all at once is going to be very tough—women hardest hit.
@dsean@KnowMySongWell@kirkito915 You can’t file on an admin account, it’s just for paying and adding everyone from your firm to one bill. I don’t know of any way around having your assistant use your credentials to file on pacer. For the 2FA however, you can link multiple authenticators .
@mcuban Excellent points, however, hospitals are not blameless. If you ever have a hospital stay, and need to work with your insurance to get through claims, you will see that they often double charge for the same services under different descriptions.
@mcuban I would sign up in a heartbeat! This makes so much more sense than the current HDHP with $32k a year for family coverage, plus 10k family deductible, plus 20% co-insurance.
@johnamonaco@panerabread@ChickfilA We also lose community when everyone eats at home and can’t get ice cream. You lose the kids playing with others outside of the shop or the mutual understanding of parenthood that comes from being in a group. It isn’t good for society for everyone to become reclusive.
