child care is free....so welfare queens have more kids to bring in the dough. But don't pay for childcare.

A win/???? for someone.

I don't find it remarkable. I was merely pointing out that this terrible system, as you describe it, in the US has made us very wealthy per-capita as compared to the rest of the world. Why on earth would we adopt a system that lowers our per capita disposable income?

If you didn't find it remarkable, why did you remark on it?

US disposable income was $62,722 in 2023, yet the median annual US income in 2022 was $60,070.

What does that tell you about income distribution over the past fifty years?

So how many working families in New York City require affordable child care?

"While an exact number isn't available, reports show a significant need for child care among New York City's working families, with one study indicating that over 80% of families with young children cannot afford child care. A separate report found that more than two-thirds of New York City working families can't afford home-based care.

• "Affordability crisis: A major challenge is cost, with many families finding child care unaffordable. One source states that 80% of families with young children in NYC can't afford child care, and another notes that over two-thirds of working families can't afford home-based care."

Maybe they should move out to Long Island and commute in. LOTS of families can’t afford to live in a major city.

Affordability is a matter of the market.

If you can't afford it, you should not be getting it. End of discussion. If you really need it, go somewhere where it is more affordable.

Why people want to live in a ****hole like NYC is beyond me.

Democrat "free health care for kids"


is always an attempt to homo rape the kid and initialize the kid as homo for life, which makes it 95% likely it will be a Dem voter for life.

See: Mamdani’s Free Childcare Plan Is the New Progressive Test Case

"Mamdani’s proposal for free citywide childcare could reset the conversation about what local government owes working families. He advocates for public responsibility for basic needs like care and food access, proposing city-owned grocery stores to combat food deserts and rising prices."

For Mamdani’s free childcare to become a reality in New York City, Mamdani would have to end the NYC’s 3% Plus income tax on NYC’s hard working wage earners paychecks.

Has Mamdani proposed to end confiscating the 3% plus New York City’s income tax on NYC’s poor working families?

JWK

Mamdani’s strategy, like the Democrat Party Leadership’s game plan, is to lie, distort, deflect and project an illusionary picture to gain support. This strategy is based on the self-evident truth that a lie and misrepresentations will circle the earth before the truth gets its shoes on.

If wishes were free stuff, blacks would be rich,

Exactly! Average-income families cannot afford to live in NYC. What is it with our current society that people choose what they prefer, and then expect other people to pay for it?

Market failure is responsible for the New York City childcare crisis as proven by "...high costs, low wages for providers, and insufficient supply created a cycle of unaffordability and instability."

GoogleAI Overview:

"Market failures at play

• "High costs for families: Child care is extremely expensive in NYC, consuming a large portion of a family's income. For example, the average cost for toddler center-based care is over $17,000 annually.
• Low wages for educators: Despite being highly skilled professionals, child care workers are among the lowest-paid workers. This lack of competitive compensation is a major factor in workforce shortages and high turnover rates.
• Struggling providers: The low-price environment, combined with high labor and operating costs, forces many providers to operate on a deficit, making it difficult to stay open, especially after the expiration of pandemic-related funding.
• Insufficient supply: The market fails to create enough quality child care slots to meet demand. For example, between 2011 and 2017, overall infant and toddler capacity decreased in NYC, with increases only seen in the wealthiest communities."

That is not a market failure.

That is the market telling you that the equilibrium price for a full supply of workers has not been achieved. People simply need to be willing to pay more for childcare. That is what the market tells you.

I can tell the Moron Mayor that I want a Toyota 4-Runner for 5,000, new. What will he do about that?

The cost basis for anything in NY is too damn high. Move out

"I think you're going to have a really great mayor".

He routinely says these types of things of people with whom he must negotiate, which makes sense.

How does he win with those with TDS like yourself? When he says the new mayor is a Communist who will destroy the city you condem him. When he says he will be a great mayor, you condem him. The real question is how can anyone take anything a TDS sufferer says seriously.
