I don't understand how Atmosphere eating people will cure allergies.

Like any nonprofit our agency gets funding through the state, county, and grants for a variety of specific purposes - California's "Value in Preschool" program, for example. We can pay a percentage of childcare costs with those funds, and my agency runs a dozen "model" preschools throughout the county.

The backing philosophy is that investing in children now creates empowered adults later.

We also have a lot of persuasion on the legislative level.

Go ask the real social workers if you’re the good guy.

Cool. It might be heavy work but at least you know that you're helping people. That sounds like a beautiful concrete result. I mean, the result of my day was this graph in which I made the dots go towards the straight line. Yay

Are you going to tell me you don’t know enough to be able to sniff out the bull**** in that rhetoric? Go work in social services and get back to me.

Lose your aid and then try to get back on when **** goes tits up and you’ll find out. The whole thing is about establishing reasons to force you into pointless menial labor.
