We’re seriously out here parsing whether Trump “actually meant” it when he said let Iran take out LA and San Diego. The line was retarded on its face and he had to clean it up the same day. I don’t think he’s actually fine with losing American cities, but the fact that this is just normal discourse now is the real problem. This stuff kills a career in 1996.
Most households need two incomes to cover housing and basics, and both adults are expected to work full time. Pretending early childcare is a luxury rather than part of the cost of that labor market is just nostalgia. If public pre-K is off the table, say what you would cut instead, or admit you are fine with lower workforce participation and fewer kids.
