The AM Show this morning started flirting with social eugenics as one red neck banjo twanging listener angrily wrote in he didn’t want to pay extra tax for child care because if you chose to have the baby you have to pay for everything, fuck you very much.
Charming. AM Show’s descent into Disney Jr ZB Talking Points is complete.
Comrades.
We live in a progressive liberal democracy, and one of the joys of living in a liberal progressive democracy is that as citizens we all share in the harvest of civil society.
It doesn’t matter if you are a Garbageman, a road worker, a Dr, a Dentist, a Lawyer, Teacher, Plumber, Nurse, supermarket check out, retail worker, etc etc etc – if you don’t do the job you do, the complex system of a liberal progressive democracy collapses.
If all garbagemen stop, you get sick within a month. If all the dentists or Drs stopped people would die, if all the road workers stopped the roads would be impassable within a year!
No matter how high or low your role, if they all stopped the system would collapse – we all participate to keep this liberal progressive democracy operating, and we all deserve to reap the harvest of that societal stability and that harvest is free child care, parental leave, public holidays, free health, free education.
It should be vastly more, it should be free under 5 childcare, 12 months parental leave, free public transport, free tertiary education, free lunches and breakfast at all schools.
We should rejoice in the capacity of our system to be able to support the modernity of life and strengthen our families, not allow petty user pays bigotry to turn on our village.
We fund these things to make life easier for our citizens, not more difficult!
To allow the spite of envy to rob working parents of the ability to work by having child care paid for is malicious and we should be better than that.

There are those in society who should not be allowed to produce another generation of the losers that they are .This has nothing to do with the job they do infact the fact they are working is a big tick to be allowed to have children.
The liberalisation of abortion laws in this country will take care of this problem.
Wealth and status is not a human right that grants more life.
I think u will find that is against an individuals human right. The woke will be up in arms with you .
Are you sure that’s how human rights work? If someone’s rights isn’t effected by a sizable chunk of the population who the hells going to fight to maintain human rights in most areas and progress them in some areas?
Bachelor s and Spinsters love kids, they just are out of practice.
Ryan Bridge is 33. His parents would have been able to claim a Family Benefit for him (even if it was only for about 2 years until it got chopped by mummy Ruth).
State support for 2 kids after that, personal responsibility to pay for any additional children people may have in terms of health care and education.
The world has too many people. Keep the population static or reducing. Those who think that the youth woke will be paying for their pension and looking after them in their old age, hmmmm don’t think that is going to happen. It will be more like Logan’s run.
Who remembers the days when Ao/NZ was supposed to be a good place to bring up kids?
If you werent a state ward and were pedophile protected it was a great place to be a kid because there was great effort put into ensuring every family had a bread winner so there was mininimal adult poverty and consequently minimal child poverty. And because there was minimal abject poverty, NZ poverty was relative poverty and in that much more egalitarian society the wealth disparities were ten times* less than now. *conservative estimate.
I remember it well and growing up working class was awesome if you had semi decent parents. In those days, there seemed to be much more of them around.
No fuck you. In order to have world class health care the medical fraternity require patients for educating doctors and nurses but most of all you need the numbers to give studies it’s proper weight so that. That means everyone gets timely healthcare so your wife can get hip replacement every time I blow her back out.

This is what the Chipster needs to sell, social unity, The Caring Society. After covid and cyclone destruction, the obviousness that everyone has a role to play in society, rather the dog eat dog NActWorld, resonates across the kiwi political spectum.
Darling, can we,what ,can we dare change ,those!s things.
Farmy Army,six months mabee, more, come aid our recovery, friday barbi, suasage sizzel, two beers all, work tomorrow. Could farm fence like ,their working for the dole, under our rules of employment.
