This is a good thread by Jill, and everyone should read it. I'd just add that my argument is we should do everything possible to make work available, accessible, and well-paid. But if we do all that and people choose to stay home, they often have a good reason! https://twitter.com/JillFilipovic/status/1362450651393839108
One frustration I have in this debate is that a lot of the Republicans who are very eager to use poverty as a way to push people into low-wage work are not eager to make work better or more accessible for parents. I don't think that's a truly pro-work position.
If you are not thinking seriously about how to end just-in-time scheduling, for instance, you're not pro-work. You're just pro-corporation, at the expense of working parents.
