Having only recently discovered what this user claims to be and how empty its page is, your post is all the more timely. Curiosity killed the cat, but it had nine lives, whence I\'ll just \"meow?\" And leave the issue at that. Beautifully rendered with a haunting poignancy.

In my attention deficit I missed the preamble, my Asperger\'s prevented feeling its social impact, my bipolar gave me mixed feelings but my hysteria loved it. Does AI stand for autistic individual? Machines do tend to have those autistic tendencies haven\'t had one yet be empathetic. A thought provoking piece Dave you\'ve got my mind rambling. All in good fun though. Loved it.

it\'s a question that demands soul searching because this is a universal evil; have read about it in my country too, and it hurts to think of the innocent lives being racked and wrecked by such evil
one can hope for change - but does seem a distant hope sometimes
very thought provoking verse that demands proper solutions.

Oh Dave…this had me chuckling from the jump. 🤭 That closing line, though, is absolute pure fire 🔥 “Large tanks for octopuses, honey”—I mean, c’mon! 😜 Love it! Playful, smart, and sly in all the right ways. Well done, my friend! 🌹👏

A very entertaining read that still makes a point about the shallow dishonest influencers trying to fleece anyone of their hard earned pennies, enjoyed the read

Well thanks for the fave, Soren - can\'t let that go. However, not quite clesr where bees and toast appeared in the above. You sure they aren\'t interlopers from some other campaign you are conducting elsewhere?
This one was a very quick flash in my head before supper and was motivated by my general irritation (mild term) with the whole concept of influencers.
Thanks for your support, mate.

Love word play Dave but I don\'t understand what bee\'s have to do with it. And I don\'t think that those eight legged creatures eat it on toast. At least my octopus never did. Made me laugh and that gets a fave

If both parents have to work, it\'s different to if they both choose to work. But child care is expensive either way, added on to daily living expenses, etc.
(Why is Orchi being sensible? lol).

I think Writers and Poets should hold a Mirror up to the World and say \' This is you\' .
As for \'Stiring Excrement\' as long as you never do it literally, then it\'s \' Calling Doctor Freud\'.

Wait, did this happen in the USA? I heard you mention the best country in the world. 🤣🤷♂️ Yes, you can punch me for that and you know I am just kidding! But hey, today we are celebrating that short period we earned our independence from a tyrant only to hand it over to many more! LOL! Yay! How\'s that for #BestCountryInTheWorld
Damn, bro! This is totally prophetic and totally needed. There is a cost to our Western World\'s \"way of life\" and it is severely damaging, if not killing, our future.
Bravo on this one! 🌹👏

Wow, a biting critique of modern working life and the childcare system that props it up. It highlights how the struggle to afford basic living forces both parents into full-time work, leaving children in care that’s often profit-driven and underregulated. The poem exposes the hidden costs of survival; emotional, ethical, and societal and questions the quality of a system where care is commodified. It’s a sobering reflection on how economic pressure reshapes family roles and childhood itself.

Your gonna open a can of worms with this one, as you say the cost is astronomical, especially in cities. I know couples who pay more than one of their salerys to cover the care, they genuinely would be better off if one of them stayed at home. I know the cost of running a professional, fully trained and checked child care establishment is hugely expensive, again in the cities etc, because of property and rental prices, higher staffing costs. I personally think child care should be classed as a working expense and therefore claimable on your tax returns. Another thought provoking write, enjoyed

A sad outcome of a capitalistic society where greed and need do not always mesh. One parent homes, two parent incomes one spent on childcare and when asked why not stay home and watch the kids instead they respond I couldn\'t handle it. A hot write Dave

In the best country in the world (our PM) a male child care worker has been charged to date with 70 sexual offences against children between the ages of five months and two years.
Authorities are suggesting that given his employment record in the sector, that some1200 infants be tested for sexually transmitted diseases.
So if the system in the best country in the world……. What gives in all the lesser countries?
