It's unfortunate that people can't see that junior dealing with the effects of climate change in 30, 40, 50 years could be a lot more devastating to his life than the prestige level of his preschool.

It's a classic case of prisoners' dilemma. Taking your kid out of daycare isn't going to help the planet very much, but could hurt your kid a lot.

Why does there need to be "the best" preschool. Can't we have a society with standards? A society that gives a damn about iniquity?

We have a society with standards. To combination of free enterprise and government is the strongest standard i know of. Have any better structures?

I think you mean inequality...iniquity is sin...which society doesn't care much about either lol

Fire and brimstone doesn't get much mileage these days It's all global warming.

It all falls down.

You are not seeing this from its full potential. By going to a better school kid is more likely to get better access to opportunities which then allow them to better survive any potential climate issues. So the parents are thinking rightly about this.

What about the robots? Better to just keep them home and let them color.

could be. the impact of going into a bad school has almost immediate effects. Do you think people dont think at all when they make decisions?

We seem to care about relative outcomes vs peers more than absolute offset shifts for the larger group.
