David, your advocacy here, of Universal Basic Services (ie, food, water, health, shelter and the things that are economic to provide collectively) rings true, presented here from a human standpoint.

Presented, as we have seen previously, as an "economic" argument, it doesn't have nearly the moral authority as it does in the human context.

I especially like what you present about the human value of motherhood and childcare.

This is like a full-circle moment. From the human standpoint, motherhood has great value.

My wife, for instance raised all three of our children while I was building houses to put bread on the table.

When the youngest of the three hit middle school, my wife studied nursing, obtained CCRN, and has, for 22 years now, preserved life in our local ICU, and sometimes in the intensive Covid ward.

In the days ahead, I'm hoping we will the ways and means to put all this very human activity together in a way that is more manageable for all families, high and low, fast and slow, yes and no, them that know and them that don't know.
