Presumably parental involvement in their children to set them up for success inherently makes lives more worth living than, say, excessive work to the neglect of children.
It's not as though private corporate competition isn't at times wasteful and destructive effort anyway.
- __MatrixMan__ 4y agoWell yeah, working too hard and neglecting your children is obviously the worst of both worlds. But I don't think anybody is shooting for that outcome. I'm worried about the cases where the parents are working hard, for instance, to be able to afford property in the good school districts. In aggregate this widens class strata and creates preventable problems that the children will have to address (e.g. now you have to pay cops to keep the riffraff in its place when you could've just not had riffraff). Better to invest in solving problems that everybody shares, because your kid will be part of that everybody. Though I admit that that's easier said than done.
