Waiting to hear this isn’t the parents fault and that we should all be penalised

Can’t it be shared-fault? Most of our residential area designs suck and discourage taking children outside without cars or at least buggies.

No I wasn’t involved in city planning

Yeah. Fuck those poor parents already living under the stigma of not being able to provide for their kids as the world is driven ever more to shit by people with an “I’m alright Jack” attitude.

Penalizing the people responsible for people being unable to afford healthy food for their kids is an option.

Can we take collective responsibility for our society without taking any collective blame?
Need to split it out. Take out the blame and punishment, and see it from a grown up point of view.
Coz I hear you, I’m not taking the blame for stuff I had no control over. That makes no sense. I owe nobody anything for that stuff.
I am over okay with taxes, or other measures, which address society’s needs even if they aversely affect me. Ws we have a shared responsibility to make society a better place.
