    Parent your kids instead of constantly demanding the government do something. Obviously it’s hard, two parents working/single parent working full-time, everything is expensive, shit sucks. But you also signed up to have kids. At least try to do them a solid and raise them well, and stop asking the already too large government to try to come up with some more shit.

      This is just as lopsided and reactionist of a response as government regulated screen time. We already regulate lots of things for children/minors that could be called unnecessary under the umbrella of ‘parent better.’ Labor, tobacco/alcohol, gambling, etc.

      The answer and discussion are nuanced and lumping them into a black and white choose a side debate isn’t reality.

      We can have the government do something and have people raise their kids, it’s not either/or.
