i know it’s mandatory. i don’t hate those who have served in the IDF, but those who support israel morally. it’s the governments fault for brainwashing and indoctrinating their people, hence why i hate israel. it’s the peoples job to undo it on their own. some do overcome it and i love them for that

by “they” i mean parents not single mother specifically

i agree with you on most things. i just believe parents should be paid for the work they do. this includes single parents. you think they shouldn’t or have argued why they shouldn’t. i don’t think that’s fair and is promoting free labour.

single parent should get more money than a two parent household, again that’s how it works in my country now but only to those below the poverty line, parents above the poverty line still struggle so it needs to be expanded

not all parent will get paid the same, if your a stay at home parent you’d get paid more than one who isn’t, as you’re doing more work. parents who have disabled kids get paid more as they are more work. that’s how it works in my country but only if your under the poverty line

parents work 24/7 so time cards are redundant.right now in my country if you meet the criteria you get fortnightly payments. that’s how it should work for everyone. children should have access to schooling, medical aid and mental health check to make sure parents are doing their jobs.

but also UBI shouldn’t mean that people that do work don’t get paid. you should still get paid for your labour. raising children is work and you should be paid for it, you wouldn’t expect a nanny to be free

yah exactly, adults would have to be in charge of it until they’re old enough to make decisions about it themselves. i don’t think a 6mo would be able to spend money wisely lol. i’d say 14-18 i’m not the one to decide what age it should be the government with info from specialists will decide that

Revolution is sometimes needed for chance. rn australia is seeing a big movement towards progressiveness. I’m hoping within the next decade we’ll get a minor parliament with the greens

it’s a fair assumption. i know nothing about his guy to be honest. i barely keep up with my own politics let alone America besides the occasional trump soap opera update. i think a good amount of Americans know that there needs to be more of a push but just don’t know how effectively but idk

fair, but y’know i’m free to reply and felt like it. i don’t do much either besides vote for the parties that would like to make these changes. i’m just lucky to be in a country that has more than two parties

ikr the amount of people (my family included) i know that had to turn to doing illegal activities to help support raising children is insane, even with an income coming in.

they way i see it is simpleton terms. parents should receive their children’s UBI until they reach a certain age, id say between 14-18. sk the parents can but what they need for their kids. you expect families to live off of two UBIs when its a three, four, five person or even more household?
comment in response to
post
no they shouldn’t but if they do work it’s shouldn’t be for free. everyone should have UBI but those who work should still get paid for it, so they can get luxuries and have financial freedom

you going beyond isn’t considering what needs to happen first, you can’t just jump to the top of the stair case without the steps before needing to be taken. one of those steps is paying parents
comment in response to
post
yes that’d be great but again support needs to be given before then. it’s easier to get extra pay through first then and argument can be made in parliament to establish UBI
comment in response to
post
it should be per child like how it is now. UBI would be great but there needs to be something before that happens. yes special needs children get more thats how it works now too. it’s just not enough there needs to be more support until UBI is established

for people to have those things you need to give them money for certain things. i’d love it if money wasn’t needed at all but it’s about the fist steps before we get to the end goal. all things atm cost money, rn we gotta work within the capitalist regime so we can slowly take it over
comment in response to
post
how are you going beyond when i want all that too but ALSO want parents poverty line and aboce (lower to middle class) to also be paid for their work and aid in giving them more financial freedom? upper class there should be laws if only one is working that they have to pay x amount to their partner

a concession holder in aus gets, free health care, free dental/subsidised, payments if unemployed a student or have children, subsidised housing and bills. i can go on. i want all those things obvs and want them for everyone. i just believe everyone should be paid for their the work they do too

i’m wanting more people to get more money through the government, which is more socialist. everything i’m saying upsets the capitalists in my county to no end
comment in response to
post
i can understand why you don’t think i wouldn’t want all those things, but i already have them in my county for those who need it. i just don’t believe people should be doing free labour and exploited, one way to stop that is the government giving people pay for they work they’re doing
comment in response to
post
this is all true is australia, especially for children, minus the child care which is trying to be changed by political parties. despite all of this people are still struggling to eat and survive and create a savings. Evan within my own family this is an issue. the payments need to go up and expand
comment in response to
post
i’m is AUS and right now if you are below a certain threshold hold you get fortnightly payments for children. Housing and bills are also reduced for people in these situations. I can assure you there needs to be more cause it’s not enough. Hence why I believe this

parents often salary sacrifice or become a SAHP to help raise a child. as a result they don’t get as much/any retirement money. This would help a lot of SAHP from being financially abused by their partner as they will still have their own income. parental labour shouldn’t be free
comment in response to
post
it’s not about being a farm, everyone has a choice if you don’t want kids don’t have them. but SAHP sacrifice retirement and should be paid for the work they’re doing and have money for retirement. right now the government is getting its people to do free labour atm

i think so too! that’s my plan but as a result my partner is working basically three jobs (they insisted and is a workaholic). the gov should give aid to all families that need it, including some that are over the poverty line we are raising the next voters and workers after all.
comment in response to

Yes and parents should be given aid from the government even ones above the poverty line. they should receive pay from the gov for raising the next gen of citizens. So the house can be managed and so parents can have money to retire with, especially stay at home parents that need to sacrifice a lot
