A community featuring uplifting and wholesome news stories that overlook deeply ingrained systemic problems.

The rules:

1. Your post must be an unironic presentation of a wholesome story, but one that overlooks systemic failures that made the story possible in the first place. In other words, we want posts that highlight "Yay, the problem is solved!", but ignore "Wait, why was this a problem in the first place?" at the same time.

2. Re-posts will be removed at mod discretion.

3. Sitewide rules apply. Basically, (a) don't be a dick; (b) use the NSFW tag; (c) no spam; (d) don't attack people; and (e) don't abuse the report button.

What are these comments? This isn't good at all.

That kid not being in daycare is costing the economy probably 1k a month in child care fees. Not to mention the worker is probably being less efficient.

Imagine if you worked really hard to open some McDonald's branches and the workers all started to bring their kids in. Workers these days have no sense of respect.

Yes, will someone please think of the shareholders?

You're in Orphan Crushing Machine. The sarcasm here is thick! Don't sweat it, this is a place for dark humor while we cope with the disaster that is our world.

It's thickest in the comment above yours 😅

I suspect that is sarcasm.
