    1. Boston proper’s population is 650-700k. How many children do they think go to one daycare?

      If they cared about kids they wouldn’t worship a pedophile and would do something about all these pedophile pastors / youth pastors endemic in their hate churches.

    3. Does “daycare fraud” exist? Probably. Fraud exists everywhere.

      Does it exist to the point that conservatives make it out to be? Of course not.

      This is just a backdoor “women should be at home raising the family” tactic.

      Is this the new ‘omg reality shows!!!’ thing where they finally pay attention to stuff and are shocked! shocked! that reality is quite big and has big numbers and that must mean that ???? profit!

    5. I mean, do they like making shit more expensive? They are petitioning to defund daycares, where their 80 dumb ass kids go while they dig ditches all day… and now they want to take funding away from them.

    6. Ooooh, a Fermi Problem not about piano tuners!

      A radius of 20 miles is “The Greater Boston Metropolitan Area” and has a population of 5 million.

      5 million / 4000 means each serves 1250 people. In 1250 people, about 80 will be less than 6 years old assuming a uniform distribution of ages from 0-100.

      So an average of 40 kids per daycare? Seems like that tracks tbh.

      Mike Urban should stay away from basic math. He’s clearly not a smart man.

    7. Yes. They want to force all families into poverty by removing daycare options.

      First republicans made it impossible for a family to survive on one income.

      Then they started culture wars to make it seem terrible for women to work. They paid “influencers” to make this seem appealing.

      When that was not effective enough they started destroying healthcare and making birth control illegal.

      Now they are trying to shut down daycares.

      Their sole goal is to make families have no choice but to become indentured servants to the rich and powerful. This, combined with their stated plan to remove the vote from women and non land owners will make their fascist oligarchy complete.

      You will owe your soul to the company store. Too bad you believed the Republican propaganda about unions. Trump ran on making a new gilded era. Republicans knew their voters were too uneducated to understand what that meant for them. (Because republicans are anti education for their constituents, pro education for their own children).

      How many of these 4,000 daycares serve 8-10 kids. As I put in a previous thread, in order to meet the dollar amount of fraud they’re claiming it would mean 75 daycares with a minimum of 100 kid in each.

      Factoring in home daycares you’d need upwards of 5 to 6 hundred daycares, ALL COMPLETELY FRAUDULENT. Not likely.

      54,000 Bostonians (?) are between 0 and 9 years of age. That’s roughly 13 kids per daycare. Considering some daycares are a single parent looking after their kid and three to four others, that’s not too surprising.

    10. That sounds like a small area, but it’s over 900 square miles. Also, that looks like a map site and they’re notorious for including places that absolutely do not fit what you’re searching for. 

    11. The great irony is that most daycare is privately paid to a point that people aren’t having kids because they don’t think they can pay for daycare.

      Densely populated urban area has a lot of children. More on this story later at 11 pm. Now, onto our main story, water: is it good? The answer may surprise you! All this and our ongoing coverage on what number comes after 9, here on CBS.

      Daycare centres directly provide women with freedom and better opportunities. That’s why these people now want to destroy all of them, because they want women to be slaves to men.

    14. ParadiseValleyFiend on

      Some right wing psycho is going to take a gun to a daycare center over this crap like they did with pizzagate

    15. Oh good, the dumbasses found their next “Pizzagate.”

      Welp, time to set the timer on how long it’ll take for one of these fucks to shoot up a daycare center. Because that’s apparently the world we live in now.

    16. Interesting that at the same time they are promoting “SAHM is a woman’s place”….. Now we SUDDENLY have massive childcare fraud all over the place. 

      This. Is. Propaganda.

      If you’ve ever tried to enroll your child in a daycare then you know there aren’t enough daycares. I had my son on at least 10 waitlists before getting a spot at a daycare.

      Daycares are expensive because you have to have enough people working at them to make sure the kids are safe you can’t just shove a bunch of kids in a room with one person watching them and call it good.
