True... maybe we wouldn’t end up with so many f**ked up adults
Replying to @marwilliamson
Always. But USA likes hard and dense brains to exploit later so that don’t make sense.

This is apparently not true for college students on spring break.

You would have made a wonderful president! Unfortunately the world, and in particular this country was not ready for someone like you. The frame of reference through which they focus is yet too narrow. But I hope one day ...

Care to wager whether this is precisely what the Chinese are doing?

SUCH a no brainer. Baby humans grow in environments just as plants and everything else does. Why would we not use the knowledge we have to enable the thriving of young humans in healthy environments that foster their potentials? The first 1000 days set us up for life. LOVE LOVE

Yup. Most addiction is rooted in the early years. USA stinks at knowing early childhood. Stinks at it.

we should build orgs and parties to do these things instead of asking the ghouls in office to develop a shred of empathy the black panther free food for children program is a key example

That’s if you want a healthy and intelligent population, which some don’t seem to want🙁
