Reaping what you sow; facing consequences

I heard an interview the other day with lawyer Sidney Powell. While I am not commenting on the rights or wrongs of what she said and did, I was struck by a comment she made. I am paraphrasing, but in summary, she felt it was wrong that she was being sued for what she had said about a company and/or its people. Her comment was that there should be no followup from the aggrieved parties and that she should be able to say whatsoever she wants about whomsoever she wants without any consequence.

Is Pre-School expensive?

Recently the press has devoted much time and many column inches to the federal budget proposal on childcare fees. Amongst this wall-to-wall coverage, we hear (read?) again and again about how unaffordable childcare is, and tisis frequently framed as being wrong, unjustifiable, excessive profit-taking and capitalism gone. Is it? I not seen (heard?) any explanation of childcare pricing; again, things are not what they seem.
