He's the new Boogeyman, because he has a Muslim name. Much like with obama. And memhet oz whitewashed his name and skin

I have no idea how anyone can think that baby baskets for newborns is a bad thing.

[–] VincentAdultman@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 hours ago (2 children)

I actually have no idea what that even means... Could you help me out with some context?

In Finland, parents of newborns receive a cardboard box that doubles as a tiny sleeping space. It's filled with essentials like diapers, a sleeping bag, small mattress, toiletries, etc.

It's like your new player gets basic gear at Level 1, minus the bronze sword and 10gp.

Why Finnish babies sleep in cardboard boxes

10 GP probably isn't a bad idea

Love the video game analogy lmfao It paints a funny picture

I'm from Scotland and here, every time a pregnant person is registered with the NHS (we have universal free healthcare, which is normal in Europe, so this is pretty much every pregnant person), they're automatically enrolled for a baby box to be mailed to their home a couple of weeks before the baby's due date.

The baby box includes a ton of stuff designed to help parents take care of a baby in their first few years, including the box itself doubling as a cot. Loads more details here, it's been super well received since they introduced it 10 years ago ish: https://www.scotland.org/live-in-scotland/progressive-scotland/baby-box

The right: Birth rates are declining!

The right when they see no cost child care brought up: Socialism bad!

If you're preborn you're fine; if you're preschool, you're fucked!

I believe that this is part of the Christian dogmatic pipeline. If you require social services, check your closest church. And of course you will need to be a member in good standing to keep access... Etc

"That should be the role of the church!" The church proceeds to not do what they said it should.

Hey man, after my local church finished paying off their pastors mortgage they used the last of the money to host a bake sale!

You people are ungrateful commies

It's also convenient that churches tend to be de facto segregated by race. We're not racist, we just setup institutions that happen to work in racist ways.

And usually praying at any evangelical church

It's ok. They've trained their monkeys to hate objectively good things.

Remember when Fox News called workers "dogs" that need to be starved to make us obedient? Never forget, never forgive

Monkeys surpass magats in intellect

$30 minimum wage and two parent households might be able to raise their child themselves

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 24 points 5 hours ago

I love how "socialism" is a smear in a country that has "e pluribus unum" on its money. Unum, only up to a point, I guess.

[–] Kalysta@lemm.ee 12 points 4 hours ago

That’s it. That’s the campaign ad.
