that's not a very satisfying answer. The ones doing labor aren't benefitting, and a day care cares for more than 4 kids. so where's all the money going? Rent? So tiring hearing all these arguments in politics thinking of the kids, and meanwhile the kids' facilities are screwed over the worst.

and for a high CoL area, it's not even 1200 a month. It's more like 2500-3000. Literally a 2nd apartment's worth of rent. Unless things went down over the pandemic.
