we are all in this together, don't gloat, MOURN that they made this mistake. Like Andrew Yang, we need to try to figure out how we can ameliorate the damage
or we are all in deep shit and yes that includes all colors of skin. They are important parts of the national economy! Not to mention if we can't get some more immigrant health care workers soon, you can fuggeaboutit health care, as large numbers of American doctors and nurses quit out of exhaustion and depression soon.

More orphans soon? Then there's the lasting damage of child abuse, oh joy...

Comes to mind, though, how they used to do it: chores, chores, chores. Milk the cows, feed the chickens and geese, hang the wet clothes...and the older ones take care of the younger ones, clean them, change the diapers, groom them, dress them,...parents got other shit to do...

Church bingo? Running the still? Overseeing the afternoon shift at the juvie farm?

Here's more on the meme that working parents are inessential:
Thing is: the argument that whatever else you do is inessential compared to parenthood, it has logic, if you chose parenthood, it should be your #1 job. Just that you thought you could always earn enough to sub-contract the work out, well, surprise, life doesn't always follow the plan!

Well, that #1 job thing is a very recent attitude, leading to helicopter parents, fights at soccer games, etc. And there are Real questions how much Is healthy, how much dampens important growth of independence and tolerance of (gasp) boredom, filling their time theirselves, balance of non-academic interest, along with the missed adulting stuff that many adults no longer do.
Of course survival in the thirties meant something. Even for kids. And those Korea parents keeping the shop going while the kids play on the sidewalk? Not #1 enough?
