You are passionate but wrong. There was a large portion of society that did this in the past and continue to do so.

In Europe almost 50% of the time children are with one parent or the other. It is very common for one parent to not work or work very little during the first five years of child rearing.

Almost a fourth of US households have a stay at home parent. With over 11 million stay at home parents in the US alone. I have a hard time understanding where you are coming from.

You also seem to confuse the issue of parents making enough to comfortably take a lot of time away from work to raise children and the fact that housework has been traditionally unpaid.

I think as a society we should recognize the need for a parent, particularly during the first five years, to be at home. We shouldn’t be penalizing people for this. Raising children is tough enough without the economic reality that you will be significantly behind your peers if you actually raise your kids.

No wonder birth rates are down. Having kids has become cost prohibitive in a society that tries to squeeze every penny out of people. We have prioritized making money to the detriment of all over raising children. The system in the US in particular is beyond broken.

Going back to when one income could support a family and almost everyone had a parent that was at home that they could rely on is not a stupid lie.

The stupid lie is it is the parent’s fault when they both have to work 40+ hours a week (if you even have two parents), take care of the household, help with homework, and deal with the constant curve balls thrown at you by life (car broken down, major sickness, mental disease, dental issues, housing emergency, etc.)

I am lucky to maybe have a hour a day maximum to myself and that is half an hour in the morning and half an hour at night getting ready or going to bed. We are far past the breaking point for the US.

SOMEONE didn’t get their calming banana!

Probably Department of Child and Family Services AKA CPS.

I will second the one about Rachel. It does one of the best jobs explaining the whole mess with Israel and the Palestinians. I knew it all already, but it was well done and thorough.

Suddenly AI is national security! You can’t make up this level of corruption.

This administration is openly hostile to American citizens. Whoever thought it would be a good idea to have a president who only serves the people who voted for him deserves to reap what they sow.

It would lead to his removal, but it got cockblocked by the Senate. As intended.

For those that don’t know. The Senate purely represents old money. They were created as a check/balance to keep citizens from taking away wealth, privilege, and power from the ruling class.

I always looked at his hoody and shorts as laziness. He doesn’t want to get dressed for his work. I think if he was advocating to change the dress code and doing it in protest it would actually be a good thing.

Instead he is just a lazy nepo baby man child that refuses to do the minimum for his chosen profession.

The War on Drugs is an ongoing genocide. We lose the equivalent amount of life to a war every year because of gun violence. Things are way worse than people realize.

Corporations became the dominate force in our culture and in every culture around the world. 90% + of all policy in the whole world is written by corporations. There isn’t a country that exist without widening income inequality.

It would be great if this was just an American problem. It isn’t. The wealthy will use their favorite proxy the corporation to run humanity into the ground. They have already poisoned the entire planet time and time again. They are the biggest threat humanity has ever seen.

They make the Nazi look wholesome. Remember it was IBM that developed the numbering system for Jews and also helped figure out how many Jews needed to be cleared out of the Ghetto daily for the final solution. Likewise MS, Google, Meta, etc. have been giving material support to genocide.

“Americans will finally have first hand experience of real war torn violence”

Someone missed the War on Drugs which is just another genocide. Also millions of Americans live under the threat of gun death everyday. Have you ever ducked when you hear a gun shot? This is the reality for many urban citizens.

We lose the equivalent of a ongoing war 40-60k gun deaths every year and have so for the last several decades to gun death.

“Over 1.5 million gun deaths occurred in the U.S. between 1968 and 2017, exceeding combined American military deaths in all wars (Revolutionary, Civil, World Wars, Korea, Vietnam, etc.).”

Our government is the most evil collaboration of wealthy people the world has ever scene. They have their hands in everything and control the majority of the world.

We have always been at war with ourselves. I have lost multiple people in my life to gun violence. I know many people’s lives ruined by the war on drugs. We have destroyed tens of millions of families and show no interest in slowing down.

We lock up a disproportional amount of people in the US accounting for 20% of the world’s prison population but only 4% of the world’s population.

We were cooked frogs a long time ago.

I was always peaceful until the left forced me to become murderous. -Trump

It is time for DHS interests to bribe the Democrats some more. Don’t worry, they got this.

Looks like an attempt to make some anti Monsanto propaganda. The basis of round up ready crops is that they have been genetically modified to resist pesticide. I think this infographic is just confused.

The technology isn’t even the primary problem as Monsanto just has really shitty business practices.

So it is more about corporate greed than mutant sentient corn trying to kill you. This is bad propaganda because it relies on made up fantasy rather than the real reason Monsanto sucks.

The most violent civilization known to man needs more violence to solve its problems.

You would have to have done some serious pretzel logic to believe Trump is delivering what he said.

End Ukraine War day one? Absolutely not.

End war in Gaza? Isreal is still regularly blowing up people in their one-sided cease fire.

Close the border? This racist dog whistle worked I suppose. Less illegal border crossings. I am personally surprised anyone would want to come to the US right now so it is a mixed bag.

Make the largest deportation event ever? Honestly Biden and Obama are going to be hard to beat especially now that no one wants to come here.

End birthright citizenship? This is straight out of white supremacist’s playbooks. He has not accomplished this yet thank goodness.

Impose tariffs to improve economy? He has certainly imposed and withdrawn and then reimposed and then re-withdrawn a lot of tariffs. This has made him and his cronies very rich but it has generally hurt everyone else. I think in the next year we will begin to see how devastating they have been to the economy.

End inflation and lower prices? Absolutely stupid promise that no administration could hope to make happen. It is simply out of their power so it was stupid to even say this and it has not been fulfilled.

Make government more efficient? This has been one of the worst failures of any administration in history. This administration fundamentally misunderstanding of the agencies they slashed shows a profound lack of judgement. They are beyond inept and probably criminally negligent.

Ban transgender people in Sports? Considering it was never actually a problem it is hard to say you can be successful in solving an imaginary thought exercise. Having said that the conservative have spent a huge amount of time passing laws around this subject instead of governing real and important issues.

Eliminate the Education Department? This is one of those promises that should have never been made. The federal government is required by law to provide services for children with disabilities amongst many other critical programs. While this administration has been successful in greatly disrupting it, without having any alternative plan, they have not and cannot be successful because of numerous laws. This is once again tantamount to criminal negligence.

Cover IVF? Weird promise, has not been delivered but could in the future.

Pardon Jan 6 rioters? Stunning success except for the fact many have been locked up for additional crimes. That one pardon has now literally lead to thousands of crimes that this administration is now culpable for. Bizarre decision to subvert US law.

End DEI? While the administration can’t stop the spirit of DEI since it is American in value, they have certainly made any mention punishable by firing thus violating everyone’s right to free speech. Truly a bizarre move because if the government can just randomly decide DEI bad why not anything else without justification. Promise kept though to best of their intolerant little hearts.

I can’t see success here, but they have kind of accomplished some things. They are so spiteful and incompetent I will be surprised if it can last. Their legal counsel is inept, their leaders are barely functional, and their agenda is anti-human. Not really a winning combination.

Unless you are benefitting from the pump and dump schemes this administration seems to love so much I don’t think there is anything to like. Even their extremists are turning on them. They got a limited lifespan unless they can pull off something they seem incapable of.

There is a lot to unpack here honestly. Let me say first that I support the Iranian people in their quest for reforms. For me the second thing is history.

The US has had its hand in regime change in Iran for a long time going back to the 1950s. They helped install a dictator and remove an elected democratic leader. This arguably lead to the revolution.

So people who know history are a little bit bitter with the US and allies bombing the fuck out of Iran while calling their people to rise up.

Running alongside traffic is the equivalent lung damage as smoking a pack of cigarettes.

Can’t remember the last person who he met with that gave him something he has always wanted but he can be trusted to make important trade and defensive judgements.

This would be bizarrely funny if so many people’s lives weren’t on the line.
