Hi Hannah, I hope you've been doing well. A few thoughts here. 1) Many don't fully appreciate how federal (and state) policy penalizes particular family models--particularly in-home care and kinship care--over others. That's true of the Child Care Development Block Grant and the Dependent Care Tax Credit, though in different ways for each. So yes, parents or grandparents might not be able to help, but they might *want* to, and for those families federal policy should not be forcing one particular family model. We should try to encourage whatever is best for each individual family. Right now we don't: we try to force or at least subsidize one model on every family in this country. And if you open up kinship and other options for families, you will relieve some pressure on the daycare system in this country. 2) If you subsidize something but don't increase the supply of it, you're going to raise prices without getting an increase in quality. This is what's so broken about Kamala Harris's approach to child care. You can't just write a check if there aren't additional providers. So while I obviously support health and safety regulations, there are some absurd regulations out there that restrict the supply of child care providers--from kinship providers to local churches. Just because the interests of the market are not always aligned with families--I agree and have said so myself!--doesn't mean that all government regulations make sense. 3) Finally, we have to consider the broken educational pathways that exist for a whole host of professions. A consistent thing I've heard is that there is great demand for a lot of jobs, but a totally broken pathway for young people to get into those jobs. It's true of plumbers and advanced manufacturing, but it's also true of child care providers. 4) I'm sorry if you think I believe children are a means to an end. I can assure you I don't, though I do believe that children are not just incredible little creatures in their own right: they are also transformative for the people who care for them.

More relevant now than ever!

Well then, I certainly didn't have THIS on my bingo card today!

They don't even make good villains anymore.

So many things going wrong here but for starters you can’t be 2 faiths. You’re either a Hindu or a Sikh. They’re also very distinct and SEPARATE faiths. Also Tahil, you can’t parse part of a prayer and mash it into another. That’s disrespectful.
