Mmhm, funny story actually, I brought him to day care a few times and they had 4 different groups that they sort them into, Ivan was put in the “baby” group. He’s 100lbs

Reply to comment by goonmaster696969 in Maine Child Care Subsidy by Dry-Date-6730
Well that's because you're looking at the old provincial parent subsidy program, which is unrelated. You seemed to have gone down a rabbit hole. The 10$ a day childcare was just instituted a year ago roughly with the federal govt and will be fully fledged over the next 5 years with half a billion invested. This will result in the average daily cost for childcare being 10$ per family by the end, but savings for families are already being seen. There are no income limits currently and all can access, regardless of income. This is modelled after Quebec which has had this for decades, and is being rolled out in all of the other provinces and territories over the next 5 years. Quebec found they did not have to increase taxes to fund the program as they garnered more tax income from the increased participation in the workforce by parents. This has been well documented.
Every province and territory has a deal with the feds now for 10$ a day childcare for all families: feel free to peruse:

Nevertheless, participation is early but heavy. My own sister who lives in Alberta, and her family make great money around $200,000 a year. Her childcare costs already went down from $2000 a month to $500 with two kids. She could go back to working full time. Hell, some provinces like Ontario are actually giving retroactive rebates for parents who paid more before the program started. Overall while the program is young it outstrips the weakly funded Maine subsidy program by leaps and bounds already. Even the most conservative provinces in Canada saw the economic value of the program, and early stats show economic benefit.

Funny enough, that's what the camera on my rental car looked like the other day. It was a pain to back up...mainly because I'm not used to driving big bulky vans vs. sedans and such. But I made it work and I didn't kill anyone. W.

Fuck those cameras, if you can't back up because the lens is dirty, then may I suggest parking it and walking. The high tech on vehicles today is so un-fucking-necessary!!!!

Thanks for the heads up. So far so good. I do have a regular problem with the gas door not opening. It usually happens when I am by myself on a dark road on a cold night and almost out of gas with no cell service…

The longer you look at it, the more there is to see...the giant gap in the railing, the disproportionate heads, the odd reflections in the water...

Oh you won't likely bump into those guys....you'll likely bump into an extremely pissed instructor who will at best tell you to get the f out. More likely call the cops.
The school is for some serious stuff don't mess around and find out.

Subaru’s rear wipers were designed so that this happens! One of my favorite features in the car during the winter along with the front windshield warming element.

… I want the rear-view bidet so much that I looked up prices for Range Rovers.
And, uh… Anyone in the market for a gently used kidney?

Range Rovers will wash the camera whenever you put it in reverse and wash the rear windows.
