Famously, Guthrie painted on his guitars the words “This Machine Kills Fascists,” a slogan he took from the World War II machinists and workers who put stickers saying “This Machine Kills Fascists” on their heavy equipment to express their support for the war effort.

So, the colonists who fled England in part because of their religion and refusal to subscribe to the divine order ascribed by the Church of England and who called upon the Marquis de Lafayette, a Catholic, to help the revolutionaries win the war, are suddenly Bible thumpers?

And they both enter kindergarten at 5. Not factoring inflation the initial costs decrease over a short period. But the mother has already taken herself out of the workforce. Systematic bias will make it more difficult for her to re-enter the workforce 5 years later.

That’s still a profit. The only way this decision works is if you also factor employer coverage of health insurance and retirement, and with those added you’re losing money. And even then, the childcare costs are short term- the infant is only an infant for a year. Both toddlers enter pre-k at 4.
