So the money comes from being a middle-agent. I’d need a lot of capital to open a business where I could exploit my workers. Guess I’m not the target market for this economy.

And yet my most professional teachers were not paid for teaching.

I'm not advocating lowering the paycheck to increase the professionalism; just highlighting how phantom money are in this equation

Unionize or cut out the middle man by collectively walking out, and forming a new daycare (microcredit,... the parents will flock towards the experienced staff with brand new equipment, selected by competent people).

It should be that easy. In the left spectrum (unions) and the capitalist spectrum (new competition). If it's not, then you don't live in ether system.

what the fuck are you talking about, no, you just pay the people instead of the company that doesn't pay them enough (home care workers make like 11.50 an hour in the USA rust belt)

why would you assume something that doesn't make any sense

Isn't everyone who can already doing that?

Ah, yes, I forgot; getting a haircut is clearly the same level of complexity and cost as finding childcare or earning a college degree.

I suggest voting with your feet and living in cheaper countries with better infrastructure.

Why give broken US systems more money if you weren't getting anything in return?
