Waste of money

I don’t really know how to get “from here to there” but my current thinking is:

1) A lot of jobs today are just pencil-pushing BS jobs that don’t add value. We employ a lot of unnecessary human labor because society is hoping that people will be able to pay their bills.
2) AI will make this much worse and there will be many layoffs as machines perform more jobs and a lot of human labor will lose its value.
3) The end result is going to be human labor usage dropping by perhaps 50%.
4) This would be a good time to return to an era when men were out working the jobs that still need to be worked, while women stay home cooking, cleaning, and taking care of child care.
5) I am not convinced that either men or women have enjoyed women in the workplace. Feminism has, as far as I can see, made women miserable. It’s been a failed experiment.
6) Finding a way to return society to a time when a single wage-earner could support a family would help make America great again.
7) Cutting back on government taxation and regulation would contribute to making this possible.

According to a report from the nonprofit group Child Care Aware of America ...

A lobbyist organization. They say they coordinate child care assistance for military families.

Comments on Google:
"The service they allegedly provide to service members is an absolute disgrace."
"I’ve called and emailed multiple times and I hardly ever get a response."
"I was treated terribly by this company as a contract worker."

For economical child care be part of the illegal/immigrant underworld, there is no licensing or over sight but a vibrant economy and parallel society.

When it is possible for the mother to stay home in a functional family, money is saved, stress is reduced, and the kids turn out better. The grandparents can occasionally help with care — and finances to the extent they can — until the kids are fully on their feet. I’ve seen this work even in today’s corrupted culture.

I can remember, as a child growing up, many people had a housekeeper who watched the kids and took care of other familial needs while the parents worked.

Then the gov’nt decided to treat the workers as employees and many lost their “jobs”!!

Child care should cost half of a family’s income. The half that is how much one parent would not be earning by staying home. Women’s Lib has helped raise the cost by making it impossible for one parent to earn enough money for the other parent to stay home.

The hidden story is taxes eat so much income that both parents need to work.

Sounds like people need to quit trying to keep up with the Joneses and a parent needs to stay home with the kid. You have to make some sacrifices, but it is so worth it.
