First-of-Its-Kind Child Care Program to Be Created for SDPD Families

ts-kind child care facility for the San Diego Police Department has been approved by the city council, aiming to help officers with care at an affordable rate, it was announced Monday.

San Diego was apparently the first city to do this, and even then only halfway subsidized. But the trend is now spreading.

Can we muster the political will for universal childcare? No. But what we can do is provide it for our favorite overpaid security-sector occupations.

    Bit idea: swear in the entire population as police officers and dedicate the entire city budget to their comfort and well-being. It’s the only way to stop the spread of socialism

      40% of the city budget is allocated to police, who number only half a percent of the population. In order to scale it up to the whole population, even eliminating the rest of the budget, we would also have to raise taxes by a factor of 16. No, not 16%, 1600%.

      We just can’t afford police.
