Shocking news.
The government is in charge of your children.
Generation X don't care about children. They expect the government - or baby boomers - to look after their children. As if it's some kind of god given right, funded by long suffering tax payers.
The upshot? We're living in a nanny state.
And you know what that means? Nannies rule, and you know what that means? Socialism and perhaps communism. Well certainly selfishness and the possibility that children might grow up believing in government. And bureaucracy.
And children incapable of being parents, so they park their children in the care of government. And so on and on, until we all live in a vast nihilistic world of government creches. Sort of like The Matrix meets the end of the world.
Don't believe me? It's all here, the exceptional truth as told by the insightful Sophie Mirabella as she exposes The me generation in charge of the who generation?
Strangely enough the world didn't seem to fall apart for readers of The Punch, the world - and Australia's - most diabolical conversation, as Mirabella exposes the evil machinations of Chairman Rudd and his nanny state ways:
The problem will arise when Gen Y (and those following) are constantly fed the social message that formal childcare is a Government responsibility and a parental right.
Gen Y has already been characterised as having a heavy reliance on the “nanny state” and believing that Government has the answers to all problems. Let’s not have them come into parenthood thinking that ‘everyone’ is opting to put their kids in full-time care and that it’s just “the done thing”.
It clearly isn’t – and there are compelling reasons (both social and economic) for it not to become so.
If the selfish “me” generation can make the instinctive choice that it’s their responsibility to care for and parent their own children, let’s ensure we don’t rob the next generation of that joyous challenge.
Wow, the baby boomers are redeemed. The selfish generation is in fact the "generous generation" as the poor boomers toil away at the coal face as a kind of unpaid baby care creche.
And if it's not boomers doing the yards, it's dads re-arranging their work using flexible workplace arrangements to take care of kids while derelict moms go out to work. Shocking. A generation ruined by fathers attempting to care, which is a bit too much like penguins for my taste.
And I'm terrified for the future. It seems as if everybody believes childcare is a government responsibility and a parental right.
Well there's only one answer. Let's get all those women back into the home to look after the kids, relieve the grandparents and educate their charges. Sure they might be busy trying to make a buck, but enough of all that work orientated fixation, and writing useless columns for The Punch.
I look forward especially to Sophie Mirabella taking a vow of silence, retiring from parliament, retiring from column writing, returnng to the solace of the kitchen, and perhaps home schooling her children.
Or she could just shut up about how Gen X'ers are somehow the selfish "me" generation, and try walking a mile in the shoes of families doing it tough. Oh and please update us on the status of the proposed parliament which it seems opened at the start of this year, and is full and now has a waiting list.
Frankly I'm shattered that the selfish me generation of parliamentarians seem incapable of making the instinctive choice that it's their responsibility to care for and parent their own children, instead of parking them in a parliamentary creche. How on earth are they going to ensure that the next generation will take up that joyous challenge when the leaders of the nation act like a bunch of selfish Gen X-ers.
Good for the goose, yadda yadda, whatever. Please oh please, when will Rupert put The Punch behind a bamboo curtain paywall?
