@yunus061 They want us to just deal with it and bear the true cost. Like we always do. $4,000 per month daycare for two kids, astronomical housing, escalating inflation on essentials for survival, price gouging. The constant whittling of retirement benefits, healthcare, the eroding of the public education system so more people turn to private schools and homeschool curriculum/online classes.
The people in power only are interested in short term gains. They don’t care that in the long term this lack of pumping protection will drive more women from the workforce because they are sucking up some extra hours of labor today.
They don’t care if you are unpaid while pumping for your baby, or if you have to drive thirty minutes for the possibility of formula. They don’t care if you work 12 hours a day just to survive. They do not give a fuck if you can own a home, send your kids to college, have a retirement, or die with dignity. All they care about is the next quarter profit you are producing for them. You’ll make it work right? You have no choice so of course you’ll make it work.
The problem they aren’t getting is people simply cannot make it work anymore. We are being taken from at every turn, it is death by not even a thousand cuts. It’s worse than this country hating women, they don’t even give a fuck enough to hate us. They have no recognition or concern that parents raising healthy, safe, well educated children is better business for them. Because that’s in the future and all that matters is right fucking now.
