> And subsidizing daycare isn't even necessarily a good idea because the economic benefit of another parent working often isn't more than the cost of the subsidy

Disagree. The benefit/pay over an entire career of just about any full time job will far exceed the price of childcare.

The problem is when the paycheck doesn’t cover childcare in the short term, and (generally women) are forced to drop out of the labor market.

If you don’t itemize, it’s not taxed (in MA).

> That's what conservatives do with them ALL THE TIME

So why help them?

Everyone realizes that.

What they might not realize is that if you call crazy shit like this “conservative” you are legitimizing it.

It’s a conspiracy theory. Full stop.

We all know this.

But there’s nothing “conservative” about this.

They are conspiracies. If you treat them as a political viewpoint you legitimize them.

Conspiracy theories aren’t “conservative”.

Edit:

Love getting downvotes when posting indisputable facts.

These aren’t the same, and politicizing crazy shit gives cover to the people who post it.

Call them conspiracies, not “conservative Facebook posts”

This is histotripsy - it’s like lithotripsy for cancer cells. There’s nothing mystical about this - it’s localized tissue destruction using incredibly high mechanical forces.

What’s new is that it induces an additional immune response.
