My mom lost her business when I was really little, and once we settled down somewhere new, she started working as a receptionist for an environmental company. She used to have to bring me to work with her sometimes. Everyone in the office was super chill about it, but if Ed, the owner/complete asshole was there, I had to hide under her desk until he left.
We need a lot of changes, but honestly, a UBI with an extra stipend for parents is one of the big ones. people can't afford to have kids, can't afford to lose their jobs because of their kids. Who the fuck is gonna take care of assholes like Ed when they're old if no one is having kids?
