    Volunteering and child-rearing doesn’t really build a mansion or yacht now does it?

    How much volunteer work is necessary only because the agencies that should have and would have done those things have been shut down to fund tax cuts for the rich?

    Or even more directly because the problems being addressed are a direct consequence of government policies instituted solely to benefit a handful of wealthy donors?

      How many of those programs would even need to exist if more people volunteered… voluntarily? Wouldn’t have needed to tax people from the get-go. Let alone tax people then tax cut for the rich.

        Woe, such a deep and enlightened take! Next you’re going to tell depressed people to, “just be happy”.

        Seriously, grow up and realize the real world is more complicated than you playing doll house…
