The gender aspect of this really should get some attention. When schools closed women left the workplace in huge numbers in order to take care of their kids. Now the reopening of schools is messy and inconsistent and there are still huge problems providing enough day care service to meet the demand. If we really want to get workers back then we are going to need solid plans for reopening schools and providing day care. Unfortunately, people are getting distracted by the lazy workers hooked on stimulus and unemployment insurance narrative and not focusing on what clearly needs to be done.

But if those women stay home, they won't be liberated to find fulfillment by satisfying the needs of capital! Day care is an ideal solution for society, because it increases the market participation of all members of the family. /s
