I did my best and most days I was too tired to give my child the attention and guidance they needed and he suffered needlessly. I resisted prescription medication for as long as possible until it became absolutely necessary. It works and there are side-effects, including symptoms that overlap with depression.
I am spending more time with my son (especially physical activities) and I hope someday he doesn't need methylphenidate.
I am likely still shadow-banned and nobody will see this message. I hope this message gets out and more single parents get the help they need.
The lockdowns are what has caused soaring mental health issues across whole sections of the population.
Heterogeneous tech stacks have benefits and drawbacks and we're seeing the drawbacks play our in real-time as increased risk.
Now, it's an excuse to take the air out of conservative political sentiment.
The relevant authorities (including traditional mainstream media) injected politics into the public discourse, which destroyed trust in what should be a normal public health process. Not only that but the relevant leaders of agencies decided to try manage the supply of masks through "steering" the public by downplaying the usefulness of masks.
Distrust of untrustworthy leaders is a feature, not a bug.

The router will probably reliably carry me until saturating 1Gbps becomes a daily occurrence and the access point will be retired when WiFi 6E comes around (assuming Ubiquiti's WiFi 6E access points aren't required to connect to the cloud.)
"Exploitation" is a relative term, some people would rather be exploited in the countryside of a first-world nation rather than the countryside of their homeland.

I bet some people are catching flak for going with Verkada instead of Ubiquiti because Ubiquiti charges more.
No muss, no fuss.
Eg: $15K per month for staffing translates to $3750 per week, which translates to $125 per hour at 30 hours per week on average, which translates to ~10 staff at $12 per hour.
At $15 per hour that is reduced to 8 staff. Alternatively the hours for 10 staff would be reduced from 30 hours per week to 24 hours per week.
The money doesn't come from thin air, raising minimum wage for 10 staff at $12 per hour to $15 doesn't mean there will be no layoffs or reduction in hours.
Increasing prices of products sold or services rendered would result in a reduction in products sold or services rendered. Again, the money doesn't come from thin air -- either prices are raised or staff costing is reduced through cut hours or cut headcount.
Who gets cut is another question too -- more than likely it is tied to appearance, education, likeability, or seniority. Who gets hired is another question too -- if the bar is too high for an uneducated black youth then they will simply not get hired. An increase in the minimum wage can result (and has historically resulted in) in higher unemployment among black youth.
Funny how there were zero attempts at squashing the lies of the left (eg: the Russia hoax, the Steele dossier, Trump being a racist, the stolen-election recriminations, "mostly peaceful" protests, masks work-but-don't-work, etc etc etc.)
There is no room for truth anymore, we are well past the truth. Those that were supposed to be arbiters of truth (fifth estate) abandoned their responsibility and embraced Trump Derangement Syndrome.
It's sad that this is where we've gone and the people supposedly interested in preventing the undermining of democracy, the rule of law, bipartisanship, and political unity are now attempting to steer the conversation again. No, you who are squawking about 'lies,' 'riots,' and 'democracy' have already lost all credibility.
