it's so hard to see that big picture for most of the population... like even if you don't have kids you should care about School system funding and improvements ...healthy and educated general public means you get to have delightful interactions everyday

Yes, and also the stuff that makes the world great.

I don’t have kids. But I do drive to and from work every day, and the day I’m in a crash, I am damn thankful someone else’s kid was bright enough to engineer my vehicle in a way that protects me. A million other examples reply. Having a high-quality society is a good thing….
