[FRIAM] Unrecognized Thinkers

[Marcus Daniels]

I was reading this..

https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2021/10/child-care-biden-congress-build-back-better/620558/

..and stopped hard on..

“Many families may even opt to have more children if the burdensome costs of child care are gone.”

Why would I possibly want to get behind this?   Now I understand that parenting is falling upon women during the pandemic, especially, and that’s not fair.  Except, well, they decided to have to children.    Why should I want to see parents have tax breaks?   If it is a pain in the ass to have kids, maybe people will stop doing it?

"Memes can spread as if they are amplified, for instance the stupid 'Let's Go, Brandon' meme or the dull 'OK Boomer' reply."

Well, it certainly is your thread to bend. My feeling is that corrosion and destruction can often arise as part of a creative process. Age demographics in politics in the United States, to my view, are pretty off balance. My personal plan is to help cultivate a different one. Nothing against old people, of course, but in the next elections I plan to rank choice not by party but simply by age.
