Infant Formula Imperialism

FDA formulates a process to certify foreign infant formula manufacturers, so that there will be enough infant formula for American babies. FDA also admits that its inspection process is broken.

So the FDA is now a second-world quality bureaucracy. Similar to the Chinese one. Taking bets on how long until third-world status.

The math of supply and demand directly means that Americans are now driving up infant formula prices worldwide. Meaning that foreign babies will go hungry. This is on top of a global food shortage. For shame, American mothers. Especially because, being overweight, American mothers have more breast and fat to make human breast milk for babies. Compared to foreign mothers. This is Infant Formula Imperialism!

PreSchools are too segregated, because HeadStart spends too much money.

PreSchool is too segregated, because HeadStart regulations makes it almost impossible for a HeadStart preschool to also enroll not-HeadStart students, and vice versa. This is bad because diversity is important for a globalized economy, and studies show that diversity makes everyone better

This piece is stupid. First off, why is it that America should participate in a globalized economy? If globalization is good, why is it that every country is doing less globalization.

Next, assuming America should keep globalize, why is it that any particular person should participate in that global economy. Vast majority of Americans do not export anything of value to the global economy. Global economy is extracting value from them, not the other way around.

And this is assuming that diversity-globalEconomy study is even true. More than 2/3 of social science studies are not replicable, meaning their conclusions are wrong. So most of those "diversity" benefits are most likely nonexistent.

Lastly, keep dreaming of deregulation. The only people supporting more HeadStart are Democrats, and they love regulations. So what they are proposing just will not happen. He is stupid for even proposing this in the first place.

IQ studies and rigorous HeadStart followup surveys have consistently shown that HeadStart and other preschool programs do not improve final academic achievement. It is even possible that HeadStart impart bad study habits on the students.

Kindergarten, Daycare, Childcare, Money

Full-day kindergarten costs money, and is not available to all students. This is bad to parents.

This is what happens when people move away from their tribes for work.

For families, their tribes can do a lot of unpaid work (food prep, childcare, etc), saving money and reinforcing familial ties. One of the reasons why both Capitalism and "Feminism" are bad to families and your psychological well-being
