[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It sounds like DC is putting small businesses out of business and increasing unemployment for mostly non white women.  That is just an absurd requirement and monetarily infeasible.[/quote]
Why so negative? This also encourages these women to pursue further education that will increase their income earning potential in the future. [/quote]

It doesn't make sense. It really doesn't. It's just not needed. It also significantly increases the cost of child care. Plus, you want someone to get a college degree to make minimum wage. Who would go into childcare?[/quote]
It increases the cost because providers can command higher salaries. I’m okay with that and would prefer providers to have education and training. [/quote]

Because you are an out of touch rich person who can afford it and don't seem to give a crap about the average working parent who already barely affords daycare in DC or the average working person who makes a living off of providing daycare services. This the requirement makes it worse for blue collar workers. [/quote]

And you you don’t care about the minimum wage caretakers while you make many times what they make.  [/quote]

DP. I would love to hear how you think someone making minimum wage is going to afford to get a college education. And why you think that a college education automatically means someone makes more than minimum wage. Dcum tends to be pretty out of touch, but this take is extra special. [/quote]

Daycare costs 2500-3k in DC. I paid less than that.

Tell me how the single parent working as a nurses aide is affording that per month.[/quote]

They are getting day care subsidies.  [/quote]

Tell me you don’t know shit without telling me that you don’t know shit. Pray tell, where is this subsidy coming from? Very few employers subsidize childcare and the government does not subsidize it except via tax credit that doesn’t even cover 2 months of care. [/quote]

Clearly you don't know given your post.  Are you that clueless?  Yes, most local governments have child care subsidies.
