That's certainly part of it. In my state ratio change by 3x from infant to 5 yet tuition only changes about 30% despite similar employee pay across ages. It's quite consistent, and the explanation is largely regulatory and complia

The unspoken truth is daycare is highly regulated and that regulation compliance is much of the contributing factor. Either compensate constituents for the externalities of your protective legislation or go back to letting any jill turn he

In much of USA allowing free roam and not repenting and recanting the sin when CPS inevitably called and starts the inquisition will end with them in foster care with the same problems but now broken continuity of care.

Yet if you attend to a child as anything but a stereotypical mom look you'll have the police called and men with guns roll up and scare your child and detain them because it's "suspicious" as happened to me as a racially

I think it's achievable with a nation state net but more challenging. Given kids at least up to replacement rates are usually net positive, society will have to economically reflect them as a profit center rather than hogging most of

Sure but the regulatory barriers are so high it's not fiscally practical for a normal person. I can walk into a pharmacy in Mexico and buy a Z-pak for strep; even for a poor Mexican that's easily obtainable all without insurance

The problem exists in shades in the USA and pretty much everywhere with nation state robust social security that relies in tragedy of the commons of privatizing the lions share of cost of children while socializing the gains ( your health i

I go to the wild West of Mexico when I need healthcare. Because it is basically unregulated, I don't need to use my shitty health insurance, and because private doctors are available I'm not subject to whims from goons from the s

Wouldn't it be the kids taking advantage? They fall into non-parents bucket, so yes they are free riders but since they are children I'll forgive them. I don't blame children for not paying their premiums, and since society

At the youngest adult ages that contribute most to premium reductions productivity is largely a function of investment of the parent, so it may be even more dire than you phrase it. Its effectively a transfer of wealth of investment from p

More directly, yours is a wealth redistribution scheme from parents to elderly non-parents to produce healthy young people at the bottom of the pyramid mostly at their own cost so they can turn around and subsidize people who never raised u

The way insurance is supposed to work is by people pooling risk to mitigate rare or unexpected losses into predictable ones. What you characterize as profit is rational acts of individual actors to join a risk pool similar to theirs in cost

As crazy as it sounds, the cuban revolution up until the late 80s. While their communist economic system was far from ideal, it saw significant rising GDP/cap vs the days when farm labor were like slaves and their output redistributed

When the rich get rich via redistribution of value rather than generation of value, average richness rises after those rich are deposed.

I would argue the opposite. Those who don't speed are disrupting flow of speeding traffic and causing a dangerous traffic impediment. And if everyone stops speeding families suffer fewer necessities healthcare etc as the extra time on

Just require someone to be in passenger seat and legally mandate them as driver. I think this would satisfy law enforcement as they could still do their shady stuff and do the usual of using a pretext they've lied about. The unavoidab

An ad hominem, even against myself, would be fallacious when used to discredit factual statements. You're also inventing a strawman of 'needless' killing. In any case I've seen small children playing in places I 'f

In Arizona snakebites happen on average to 50+, not really a demographic known to fuck with snakes. Snake shot should definitely not be carried in rattlesnake territory. Definitely not.
