Being a stay at home parent is a luxury these days, and this has been the case for a while now.

Which is a shame. People used to earn enough money to support a family. Back when immigration was at sustainable levels and manufacturing jobs weren't being shipped overseas.

My advice to young couples is to make arrangements where the grandparents look after the children while Dad and Mam go to work.

More than that, when immigrants were White.

It's always a shock to view some pop culture from the 60s and see that they were making fun of people from Poland, or Italy, or Ireland or something. Like...wow. Because that's what "immigrants" used to be.

The movie "The Deer Hunter" is a good example.

Alright how about we draw the line at white supremacy, yeah?
