But how do you discover new things? I don't mind paying for music but not if I don't even know if I'm going to like it

Although I agree with the sentiment, I would NEVER expect anybody to entertain my kids. I would just pack them up and gone home. My kids are my burden to bear.

Exactly. I was on an empty flight red eye PDX to Boston. Didn't get cancelled, but what sucked that they didn't have first class, so I still had to be crammed into those tiny seats. Couldn't sleep as always.

So they get compensated about quarter of their yearly expenses with this btw bill. If they had an equivalent of this in us I'd get about 6k yearly from gvmt for each child. Not too shabby in my book.

This article talks about cost "relative to its GDP per capita." In the proposal they give flat sum of money. So we are comparing Apple to oranges. Not saying you're wrong, but I still would like to know how much is daycare per month in China. I know in us I pay 2k per month. I doubt it's the same there.

In US I assume. How much does childcare cost in China?

The problem with Intel is itself. No amount of laying people off has helped them in the past. Nothing suggests that it will this time either. Pumping money into this thing without major changes will lead to more money hemorrhaging with no significant benefit.
