This is peak conservative problem solving. They rave about about “the elite democrats” when in fact they’re the elite; they have enough money to where childcare is a non-issue. So when thinking about the problem the idea that parents can’t afford the same care is a foreign concept. Thus, their problem solving is limited to knee-jerk comments like “shrug… maybe grandparents could do it?”
My wife and I have 2 grandparents between us, they live in different states, and both are still working with bleak retirement plans.
No first time player would pay that. The game and DLC go on crazy discount like once a year at least.
I own a bunch, but not all the DLC and have never paid full price.
Also they really should update the UI in the game. It would be fantastic to play on modern 4k and similar resolutions where there’s plenty of room for lots of information density.
