Policies That Sound Good But Don’t Work 

I could understand a few things for a daycare: 1. Require a Food Safety Certification - really simple, fairly affordable, and it's good for several years at a time. 2. CPR/Emegency medical training - as a just in case something serious happens, it's a good idea. 3. Occasional health+safety inspector - again, something that is pretty damn cheap/affordable to manage. Total overhead cost shouldn't be more than ~300-800$ a year. And yes, I get it: It's a chunk of money - but if you want to ensure the person caring for kids is going to be reliable, and the place they are is safe this shouldn't be a big deal. My understanding that the actual regulations net a huge upfront cost, and ongoing costs to maintain, that actually don't offer real benefits. I mean to be blunt - you could target around 20-30$ a day, and keep to say 8ish as a limit of kids, and you have a pretty decent after costs revenue. Nothing amazing, but, something decent. And even more so - having talked to some moms that did this in years gone by, you would have some of them even help out young families where both parents needed to work but couldn't really afford daycare. The Commercialized system does not do that - and well, we can see the results... and it's nothing good.

@@formes2388sure sure…. Let me ask you… Do you get certified to make sure what you are feeding your kids are safe? Do you get regular safety inspections for your home to insure that your kids are safe? You see, most of the time these older day cares worked because we all kind of knew each other. A parent good enough to keep their own kid alive and happy is usually able to watch your kid the same way. While having those certificates might be a good marketing idea to make other parents feel safe, they are actually ridiculous. Most people cook and serve their family food regularly, we don’t need a stupid government agency saying I can safely cook food. Now most new parents take emergency cpr classes and stuff and have 911 for when things go full sideways. Stop making unnecessary demands that most people wouldn’t do for their own family.

​@@formes2388 sounds like you've literally never ran a daycare.

It's better , to not have the home daycares. There just not as safe . When u have the government sticking there nose into things , it forces business owners to be up to snuff . So to speak...

My mom did the same. Undeclared to the IRS. I think that is why government got involved. They always want a cut every time money changes hands.

Well, ya You're a hero and this is the minimum that you deserve while most of us are too pathetic to stand where you have We need more of you in the world Thank you for your service

Too bad I wasn't able to get a loan as a young man, when I had good health and strength and the endurance to work my guts out to pay something off😂😂.

And to be fair, it isn't "free"; you pay for it by being on call 24-7; being sent where you are needed regardless of safety; having your political and religious views muzzled.

Thank you very much for your sacrifices and service to our country, so I could live in a free country, and go to school. I'm also grateful to your family who served with you if you were married and had children during your years in service. Your parents would have made sacrifices too. I find it interesting that so many family descendants went into the Navy also. I guess we just like the waters. I also paid off my student loans on time. Broken spine kept me from serving though plus Vietnam.

In my experience nothing was free. It either came out of my pay or my time.

100%

When we did the math it was cheaper for my partner to stay home

@@codyharney2997 She was only making fifty cents a hour.

I haven't heard that term in decades. I do remember it.

No doubt it's been dipped into a few times 🤔🤔

Politicians, and some of both sides are guilty, will Rarely leave money alone when they know it exists. Especially When it Isn't Theirs!

An engineering degree is one of the few degrees I would fund for my children.

Thanks for the stance. Glad you didn't blame someone else for you going to college haha. It's a crazy world

It should be a choice. I agree.

Bingo

Friend was a teacher in Washington State. The union renegotiated their benefits without consulting the teachers. They got the teachers health insurance to cover their spouses and kids, but it cost significantly more which came out of the teachers' paychecks, not the union dues or school budget. My friend, who is single with no kids, noticed the change in pay and investigated. That's the only reason he found out about it. The union simply didn't tell anyone who was single about the change even though they were paying for it. When he asked the union rep about going back to the old insurance coverage, they said that plan wasn't available on the new negotiation the union worked out. When he complained that he was paying more for the same coverage, they brushed him off stating he'd thank them when he started having kids. He wasn't even dating anyone at the time. The union refused to negotiate for him to get on the old insurance plan as it would require renegotiating the contract for all employees to let the employees have the option of which coverage plan they wanted. He withdrew from the teachers union and ended up moving to Kentucky to teach there instead.

@@CowCommando teachers unions and police unions are a scourge on America. They're irredeemably corrupt. They protect bad teachers and cops and hold back the good ones. Of course, they donate exclusively to democrats. Unions shouldn't exist for government employees.

Just like all the overweight CoD playing teens that swear if they were in combat they would do xyz. Instead of you know making a mess out of their pants.

@nightlion4968 Those are the worst! The ones that cry the most about how unfair everything is and down with the services since they're evil yet reap the benefits we all gave up for. I would love to toss them into those situations and tell them, go ahead 360, no scope high-speed. You'd win, right? Vibe check, lol

yah but keeping those kids in school and off your streets helps keep you safe both now and in the future. less crime, less gangs, more people who can provide you actual services in the future

​@@NAEVAN238 some of the schools these days have crime and gangs in them. That's kind of a silly stance. Good kids will be good kids with or without school. Bad kids will bad kid with or without. Only a small marginal portion will change their course by intervention. Dictating by the needs of a few over the needs of many is always bad policy.

That and, "I'm just here for moral support. Ignore the gun."

the only problem with this is the bulk of funds going to universities goes to deacons and the board

Cost of education should reflect quality of education, not name or status. Manu kids get degrees barely worth the paper printed on, and pay %10000 worth the job the degree is based around

Very possible! especially at this moment. Profits can be made in many different ways, but such intricate transactions should only be handled by seasoned market professionals.

Having an investment advisor is the best way to go about the stock market right now. I was going solo, but it wasn't working. I've been in touch with an advisor for a while now, and just last year, I made over 80% capital growth minus dividends.

Finding yourself a good broker is as same as finding a good wife, which you go less stress, you get just enough with so much little effort at things

Brian demonstrates an excellent understanding of market trends, making well informed decisions that leads to consistent profit

I'm surprised that you just mentioned and recommend Mr Brian Nelson. I met him at a conference in 2018 and we have been working together ever since.

I agree with your statement. I wish we had a governor in California like Nick. Virginia is so much prettier though.

If so, then we should enact the full set of laws in that era and just allow the Code of Hamurabi to go into full effect.

My mother's father was born in 1898. He had no part in slavery. His parents were also born after the end of slavery. On my dad's side, great, great grandmother was full blooded. But she was not a slave or a slave owner. Neither was her husband a slave owner. So why should my kids pay any reparations to anyone else today for reparations?

@@VeraHuden-mj5bt that's amazing. Also a good point in the argument of not everyone knows/ has this information available about their family heritage and/lineage. Why because up until ww2 America was literally "The Melting Pot" of culture. It just happened to involve slavery just like the rest of the world at that time as well.

and do we reward the child for something he or she never suffered

I agree entirely even though I never went to trade school. Maybe offer less interest so more people would consider it.

I would almost back that. Way more support than university loans.

Not even, my wife and I both work full-time to make ends meet. I work construction and have for since I was 18 and she's an rn. Both cars 2010 or older. My pay barely covers rent and food, hers pays the rest of the bills. We've never gone on vacation, don't have fancy anything. Our two older kids have one activity or sport that they do. She also has to work nights so one of us can always be home with our 3 kids. My parents raised 11 kids owned there home and 2 used vehicles all on one income. It's not even close to the same anymore...

I agree wholeheartedly...please consider

Please NOT! We need Nick (and others like him) in the LEGISLATURE to be the wise buffer from the other idiots, including the President! (or Governor!)

No. Education at least in the form of modern schools was designed to train kids to turn up to work on time and make them numerate and literate enough to be useful to buesiness.

That might be what this debate is going to converge on. We'd need to forgive what's left to unwind the system.

You are right. Most slaves in biblical times were indentured servants. Economically the agreement was necessary for financial and social reasons.

All men (mankind)are created equal. The beginning line of the constitution. Why doesn’t it say All white men are created equal? George Washington said that first line was put there to give the power to the people to end slavery & have a legal foundation & obligation to do it. It was also written for women. To again have a legal framework that would be used to ensure the equality of women. The founding fathers treated their slaves like brothers. They were well paid & well cared for. After Thomas Jefferson’s wife died. He fell in love with the slave who had helped him care for his wife. He couldn’t marry her even though that was his desire. It would have most likely ended with her death. He did have at least one child with her. Their posterity was found through DNA. The founding fathers were trying to create a country of equals. There were plenty who did not want that. Pres Washington gave the southern rich elites 20 year’s and no slavery. Only the rich could afford to keep slaves. Plus the rest of the country was against slavery. The only slave owners were the rich democrat southern elites. Not everyone was mean & treated slaves badly. Only those who thought themselves better than everyone else. The democrats attacked regular people if they helped slaves escape. They would burn their houses down, they would murder their families. They would pay people to not do business with them. When that 20 years was up, the president at the time tried to end slavery. And the democrats went nuts. Started to do smear campaigns and pretend the republicans were lying that it wasn’t slavery they care about but they wanted to take the businesses from the rich southern slave owners. And yet we had a civil war over ending slavery. Not rich southern businesses. And none of the people who fought on the union side tried to make slaves out of anyone. As the democrats were implying. The republicans voted in the first black politicians right after the war. What did democrats do? They formed the kkk trying to scare people into stop treating former slaves as equals. The current kkk leader supports the democrats. Think about that. Margaret Sanger a democrat started planned parenthood to end the black race. She made no bones about it. Do not under any circumstances think it’s okay to make the founding fathers sound insincere. Every person who signed the declaration of independence had their homes destroyed. Their livelihoods destroyed. Because they began a new country where the people wouldn’t pander to the elite! Apparently democrats never got that message! They are still doing the same things! Trying to make elites in charge of the rest of us. Telling us what to do with no evidence of their reasons to enslave all of us! BTW All men are created equal means all of mankind! Male & female, regardless of religion, race, or sex. The national anthem was created after the British army told General Washington that a stand off was in order. They said if we can shoot down the American flag then we win. If you keep it up you win. The British knowing the flag was on top of the supply building where all the women & children were also. Then the British stopped the American military from getting to that building. It was up to the women & children to keep that flag up. Once the flag pole had been cannon balled. Women & children held it up and the British kept shooting. As a woman or child died because they were hit by a cannonball another person took their place. All night long. That’s why we sing about the rockets red glare, the bombs bursting in air, all through the night our flag was still there! People from all over the world came here to worship God as they wanted and to make their own choices! And not to be infringed upon by politicians or the elites. Until you have studied this, seen the documents and read them, read the papers, journals, and everything we had prior to college or the internet. You research and get the whole picture before you slander someone who died to make sure you could think whatever you wanted and no one could infringe on that even if you were wrong! What have you done besides complain? Would you give up your life? Also I don’t hold the posterity of the British soldiers or the posterity of King George III responsible for their ancestors actions. You weren’t there, you don’t know how you would have acted had you been from their time. But they are better people than we are! They gave up their lives to make a country and others died to end slavery. You don’t the whole story. You don’t realize your comment is wrong. That is because you believe the people who want to have power over you and take away your choices. No people who have ever been on the planet have been perfect except Jesus. You are judging others by what you are told and you are being told what to think not how to think. You would see differently had you been given all the information and told to decide for yourselves. Had you looked at it without being influenced and flat out lied to. Now they are censoring us so we can’t see all of the story. Only what they want you to. This is why the founding fathers created the 1st amendment to stop what is happening now! But the democrats are fighting it. Saying we should censor speech! Do you want someone who has millions of dollars but only makes 125,000.00 a year to tell you what’s right & wrong? Where do they get those millions? Why isn’t inflation stopping them? How do they fly in private jets with the gas shortage they deliberately made? Could it be they have their own supply? Could they be using our tax money to launder it through a war perhaps, and get lot back? Elites start wars to get even richer. All that death & carnage so others who don’t care about you can get even more money! Nowadays it’s not just the democrats it’s the democrats who pretend to be republicans. Who gets hurt in wars? Those fighting it, and those paying for that fighting. I doubt the people of the country where the wars are would fight if they knew what they were fighting for. Elites like to use tax dollars to pay for what they want and be on the inside of the elites gang to help each other stay rich. And get more power and control to become more rich. Take off your dem colored glasses and start seeing things without their skewed vision.

They couldn't line their pockets indefinitely if they did that.

Because they don't want shift work, or night shifts. Moms want to "Girl Boss," and that means normal business hours. And the men they marry have to be as driven as them in another highly business heavy career, which means they are both doing daytime hours.
