I figured we'd reach the 'ripping copper out of the walls' stage of social spending dismemberment later this term or early next, not in week 2

I have two kids in daycare (one is in a preschool program). Having one kid home, is not going to work, we both need to work just to afford daycare. We do not have remote jobs. What a fucking nightmare.
Militant suggestion: bring your kids to work and make it everyone's problem; or else quit your job. Either way, tell every other parent at work and the daycare to do the same.
Mutual Aid suggestion: the government will not stop failing you, only community coming together can help us now. Make friends with other parents at your job and daycare. Find out who has capacity to take care of kids, those people take on day care duty for the mutual aid group. Other people in the MA group should provide according to their ability: make group dinners, do group laundry, give people rides, help with repairs or tech issues, and so on.
That militant suggestion crossed my mind. I work in schools, and have a pretty big shared office.
And here I thought it was going to be later on this year or year two the administration was going to cut all forms of social spending. Way ahead of schedule!
