It was politicized because the hall monitors and moral busybodies (we all remember who they were and what they were like before the pandemic too) tried to force people to pick between getting it or starving.
EU continues its descent into an authoritarian surveillance state. I hope all the EU netizens wake up and realize how much more control the EU has been exerting over its citizens since the pandemic.
Covid restrictions were significantly worse in the EU than USA, your government locked you all down and made it clear that they decide who works and who doesn’t. To be clear, the USA has some awful cities with those types of ideas too but it was far more rare. EU, Canada, and Australia showed they are teetering towards authoritarian surveillance states more than they are democracy. The more people put their head in the sand and justify these actions with the talking points they receive from the overlords, the more the water starts to boil.
Next time you want to stay home destroy economics and life of millions of people please don't drag us with you -[1] "lockdowns have had little to no effect on COVID-19 mortality"
"The price tag of lockdowns in terms of public health is high: by using the known connection between health and wealth, we estimate that lockdowns may claim 20 times more life years than they save."
"Numerous deaths can be attributed to the interruption of normal social life and routine regular social interactions. The direct factors are [25,26]:
increased mortality due to postponement of diagnoses and routine treatments
increase in mortality due to non-arrival at hospitals
increase in mortality due to a decrease in the level of income and as a result—use of less safe cars, reduction in the scope of physical activity, etc.
“deaths of despair” caused by drugs, alcohol, and suicide following loss of social-economic status
increase in violence, including domestic violence; dismantling of families
severe health damage to the elderly in particular—physical and mental deterioration (usually irreversible) due to loneliness, lack of movement, and routine supportive care."
This is why the tyrants would go a step further to try to ban private education so that you can only be educated by a state. They openly say this is what they want.
It is very interesting how their worldview is claimed to be better yet it cannot compete on a level playing field and must instead force its way to the top by making things worse for others and taking away their opportunities. It's crabs in a bucket politics.
Progressive left are liars and should not be trusted. Their actions are opposite of their words. We need to vote in people who have and use their brains, instead of activists and idealogues. Otherwise the entire nation will collapse. Johnson is a clown and clowns too are the people who voted him in, assuming that any actual voting takes place in Chicago.
Some students are brighter than other students. Some students will out perform other students and therefore they deserve better and more opportunities. Get over it.
Nothing wrong with being a married housewife. It’s callous to write with a connotation that suggests there is. In fact the best argument is that children need and should have their mother around as much as possible especially in their formative years. Children aren’t a status symbol or a car or a pet.
There is something wrong with being forced to live any kind of life you don't want. If you don't want to be a housewife then being forced to be one if you have a child is objectively awful. Japanese women have spoken, they'd rather work than have children if it means being chained to a home. Honestly even Japanese men are spoken. The gender expectations around having children aren't pleasing for them either. No one likes being forced into a life they don't want. If all it takes to avoid that is not having kids it appears many in Japan can overcome biological drives and do that.
This is from the children's point of view, and people-who-want-more-people point of view, but doesn't consider at all the person's point of view who would be making most of the sacrifices, which is the "married housewife."
Having a stay at home parent is great. Nothing wrong with a stay at home parent. Although it would be better if it was a man.
The average man has greater physical strength than the average woman, and household chores involve lots of non-automated tasks (lifting laundry baskets, etc). Plus, it is unlikely, but if there’s a burglar, men can typically put up a better fight.
If they as a culture are no longer willing or able to reproduce, this means they have had their time under the sun. This technology is evil and will lead to immense evil. It is an abomination.
It wont be. China in particular stands out as a place where this will be heavily utilized. There just arent any negative feelings towards this kind of stuff.
Doing it at the family level or between neighbors who like each other and agree to share from victory gardens and greenhouses and personal farms is much different than what the parent proposed. Multi-generational family compounds are an awesome idea. This also solves retirement issues for the elderly.
