Hey, Royalan used Benji’s Original Sin theory on politics:

If you want to understand the most consistent through-line in right wing maneuvering, it's the bigotry that the right continues to wield like a godblade.

It's why I can't ever get down with a "class solidarity" first politick. It'll never happen in this country until the original sin is acknowledged and corrected. And it's not me saying that; it's Republicans themselves saying that.

Edit: Really it was a response to the crybaby streamer Tectone having a fit about some trans fan art for a video game character. Jeff hit him with the lil bro banger and commented about how Tectone seems to focus an awful lot about trans people.

We all need escapism but maybe we could do with less of the ultra-rich who have zero cares in their lives juxtaposed with Gaza, mass layoffs, impending totalitarianism, Ukraine etc.

Brad Pitt reportedly got paid $30 million for F1.

Same. But if it wasn't for kids school and sport, I'd prefer 4/1. I don't really like working from home.

I'm up to episode 5 and this perfectly sums up Alien Earth. Hard to suspend your disbelief enough to stomach that show.

Like all things Resetera prominent member, they are pathologically unable to say, "This is not for me."

I have bought From Soft games in the past. I don't have the patience to learn the combat well enough to be proficient. I no longer buy From Soft games because they're not for me. 

However, we're dealing with anti-capitalists who can't help but consoom the latest popular thing.

I don't see the issue. South Korea has government subsidized child care for infants. Why can't America have it when we're the reason the Capitalistic south get their luxuries in the first place?  Hmph

Jesus fucking Christ.

This is actually a debatable issue, despite your response. It's no secret that families were far more stable in the past (fewer single parent homes, less divorce, more kids), and the big talking point nowadays is "wow, our parents had it so easy, look how easily they could buy a house", and that was usually on single parent income, with more kids. So the question is, why? What changed? "Things are more expensive now." But why? Looking at the societal level, when half of adults were working with more kids, things were better than now when almost all adults are working with fewer kids and better tech. A lot of people would argue that it's the breakdown of the family that is the cause of all this, not the other way around. To make it less abstract, there's an argument that many kids with a stay at home parent is a huge investment boon for the future. Sure, you have half the workers now, but you make 6 kids, you go from one worker to three workers within a generation, and since strong families take care of each other, that single parent worker now has a bunch of productive kids that can make sure they're okay into the future. Then they each make a bunch of new workers each. Meanwhile in South Korea, their society is about to collapse in the next few decades because nobody had kids, because their society promoted an "everyone should work" culture.

So what incentive does free childcare create? Well, you could argue that it eases the burden of having kids, and so it promotes having more kids. A reasonable argument. But as Gameboy mentioned, South Korea has this and it hasn't worked at all, in the slightest. So what are the other incentives it creates? Let's see where we missed something. A mom can stay at home and raise a bunch of kids on one income, or she can go to work at no extra cost to make extra money. In other words, when you have to pay for childcare, a lot of your money you would otherwise make has to go to childcare. So instead of bringing home X amount from a workday, you'd bring home half that. So why bother? May as well just stay home.

To put the argument more succinctly, the program disincentivizes stay at home parents, thus weakening the nuclear family structure further that worked much better in the past than whatever this is now that we have going.

To be clear, I'm not even sure I agree with this argument completely. I think there are other factors that have changed as well. And now that we're in the situation that we are already in, it might help boost birthrates slightly (Although again, not nearly enough in South Korea). But you acting like you're shocked anyone could oppose a policy like this suggests that you really have not given it much thought as to what all the effects can be, because it sounds good on the tin.
