Usha was likely never left learning. She, like her husband, is clearly motivated by greed and a desire for power. I would not be surprised if part of the reason she worked at a progressive law firm is because she could take advantage of the firms desire for diversity. She’s ambitious and will play whatever role serves her best. She’s the classic example of a modern day conservative — take advantage of every opportunity then work to strip those opportunities from others to ensure they stay on top; 0 empathy.
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.
