Why Child Care Is So Expensive

I'm sure it's more complex than this, and of course equal opportunities for everyone is good, but yes I think it hurt.

More people going to university -> Demand outgrows supply, universities can charge more and spend more money on appealing things. More student debt.

More workers -> More supply than demand, companies can pay less.

Each worker needs a vehicle. More expenses.

Both parents working, need to pay someone else to take care of kids. More expenses.

More debt/expenses, less pay.

More people sitting in traffic, more parents that don't get to be with their kids as much, more reliance on public schools to raise kids.
