capabilities, and yet they're not in our labor force. why? because the uncertainties of the pandemic create the inability to guarantee adequate, safe, proper child care for not only our family members, but also making sure that we have teachers available to put our children in safe learning environments. i think you should always end up having an increase in the wages to keep up with inflation, the consumer price index also went up. i think until we have adequate child care provided by our government, provided by our local municipalities, we're not going to be able to adequately address these issues of care and security. >> yeah, you're right. you talked about teachers returning. we're going to talk about that later in the show. just to let our viewers know, for those of you who don't know, the average cost of child care for an infant is about $1,300 a month. that's some people's entire paycheck, as you know, michael, for sure. i'm just curious your take.
