5. People are saying, 'No' to low wages and crummy working conditions.

As far as no child care, there are several issues: 1. It is primarily seen as a women's issue. Women's issues do not get any priority in this country. 2. Children under the age of 12 are not vaccinated, and kids are, unfortunately, major vectors for the spread of viruses. 3. Caregivers, whether of children or the elderly, are way underpaid and way over worked. 4. Employers have had the upper hand for far too long. Wages have been stagnant since the 1970's, and working conditions have sucked because employers have felt that they could get away with maltreatment of their workers. Now, working conditions need be upgraded and improved. Suck on it, employers. You created your own problem.
