    Selfish entitlement. That’s how it came about. What if one of those children they infected dies? Then what? Oh, it was just inflation? It’s worth it for my freedumb? A small price to pay?

      Losing a week of pay means they can’t make rent, then they lose their home, now we have homeless children.

      Pick your poison.

        For people like me, dead children is always the worst possible scenario but you do you.

          I think it’s more about having sympathy for the cruddy situation they might be in, not necessarily what the best or optimal outcomes would have been.

            I will never be sympathetic to people who put other people’s children’s lives at risk for any reason.

            Never.

            That’s is incredibly selfish and entitled.

            It’s a bad situation for sure but risking someone else’s child is unforgivable.

              People will tend toward prioritizing their kids over other kids in general. So, when having to choose between feeding and housing their kid or maybe another kid getting sick (and carefully not thinking about them maybe dying), they choose to feed their kid.

              Rather than getting angry that some parents aren’t as noble as you, perhaps consider directing your ire toward a system where a parent can’t afford to stay home without the financial harm impacting their kid. Mandatory paid sick days would make this much easier.

                    There is no circumstance where putting someone else’s child’s life at risk is acceptable. Period.

                    Ever.

                    You’re an amoral, toxicly entitled assholes if you do.
