literally all we need to do is mint 10 trillion dollar coins, send every household ~$45k per person & child and tell everyone their 'job' this year is to stay home, teach your kids, contact trace and other WFH-able tasks, etc. it could happen in a week if the right people decided it to be so

I'd make the deal to buy these loving forums if it means I never had to read another "having children good vs. having children bad" derail again

the argument is children are neutral vs insane crotchspawn "having children is slavery" nutjobs

no one in the former camp in CSPAM thinks it's another persons obligation to have kids

yeah people without kids cannot experience hardship during this pandemic, which is what the guy was tweeting, whether he meant to or not. while large, his pain in this time is not unique, and no benefit is gained from trying to create a comparison

i understand you have spent a lot of time explaining that it is difficult to have children during a pandemic, but that's not why that tweet sucks

does this whole loving argument really boil down to parents reading that tweet as:

quote:

It’s hard. I feel like non-parents have no idea how [much more] hard it’s been [being a parent than it normally is].

vs non-parents reading it as

quote:

It’s [only] hard [for us]. I feel like non-parents have no idea how hard it’s been [to live through this pandemic].

I’m shocked that a system which expects both parents to work full time while also raising a child is unsustainable the femtosecond something goes wrong

maybe we should recognize, as a society, that caring and raising a child is a full time job and build a world that allows for that to happen

alternately we can continue to throw people making 40-60k a year back into the covid woodchipper so that ms and mr lawyerpants can do some zoom calls

I think this is where my child’s school district is going.

It's the best compromise solution.

There's almost no way that you can safely have a 5-day per week in-person learning schedule, because doing that with proper distancing/cohorting requires insane amounts of physical space and some crazy school bus logistics. A lot of the half-assed attempts to do cohorting aren't really practical because they always have one fatal flaw (open cafeterias, regular bus routes, etc.) that blows the whole thing up and ensures that the whole school needs to shut down if you get one infection.

So the best option is pretty much to do mixed schedules where kids will come in on some days and do distance learning on other days. It mostly solves the space issue and it lets reduce bus occupancy without running some hilarious number of bus routes. It's still expensive and lots of people will still hate it because it means their kids will be home 2-3 days per week, but it's way better than the alternatives.

Don’t understand why the article is acting like this is good news. It doesn’t seem to be any less deadly either.

Like the whole tone is “hey extremely bad thing happened but at least it wasn’t extremely extremely bad

Robert Plant
Jan 6, 2015

Whenever I was the closing server at the ‘Bees I’d wait until it was down to me and the other closer to order my meal. If I did well for the night it’d be a bacon chee but only if my boy Miguel was on the grill because everyone else couldn’t cook for poo poo,, otherwise it’d be chili cheese fries which were tasty but then every end of shift turned into a fun race against time where i was battling against making GBS threads in the stall in between being sat again or making GBS threads the very second I got home

Boy was I depressed. On the other hand I’d probably be making more money today if I stuck it out there as I’d be a shift manager by now. If I could have lived with it, which I could not. Life is full of surprises
