> So the bill will subsidize day care and insist that day care be unionized ... it would be an economic disaster.

I understand people who think subsidized day care and larger teacher unions are a great idea and they voted for the Democrats, they won, and the Democrats are delivering.

I understand people who think subsidized day care and larger teacher unions are a terrible thing and they voted for the Republicans and lost.

I am puzzled by people like Kling who seemed to be neutral or even lean left during the election season, and now that the Democrats are following through on what they said they were going to do, now are claiming that these policies are disastrous.

The vaccines carry a significant risk of injury or death, which nurses in hospitals frequently see. Why do you think thousands of them have accepted firing rather than comply with vaccine mandates? They're in a position to know, and they aren't being paid for each Covid death as the hospitals are. I trust their judgment. I don't think that is an uneducated reason.
