NEWS: Costs of childcare is too high, better off not working and being on benefits and having kids than trying to work, work style changes after having children, feeling more pressure to work like i don't have kids, and have kids like we don't work. I wonder why fertility rates are declining!

🏃‍➡️ Your pre-submission clarity sprint 48 hours before submission, run this: Hour 1: Read paper aloud. Mark every stumble. Hour 2: Fix stumbles. Hour 3: Delete 10% of word count. (Yes, 10%. It's always possible.) Hour 4: Read only first sentences of each paragraph. Fix broken flow.

Say it after me: Chat GPT is not a search engine. It does not scan the web for information, it just generates statistically likely sentences. You cannot use it a search engine, or as a substitute for searching. Now. Please never use an LLM for information searches ever again.
