fwiw: i have no strong opinion on child care. it really has absolutely no effect on me at all, whatsoever, as i am violently opposed to the premise of raising children, in any gender context. life is too short to give it away to your children; my life belongs to me, and they can't have it.

that said,

1) i recognize the benefits of a potential universal child care plan, probably modeled after the one in quebec, but i would even go so far as to consider it invasive for me to get involved in the details.

2) from a broader social context, i'd argue that there ought to be a strong focus on minimizing the role of "babysitters" and putting a stronger emphasis on ece-style early learning. so, i would support the professionalization of child care.

but, this isn't an issue i have much to say about.
