Introducing: White Picket Fence
This special episode of The Pay Check features "What Could Have Been", the latest episode of White Picket Fence from Wonder Media Network. How did the U.S. become a society that treats caregiving as a private family responsibility rather than a public good? In this episode, Julie explores the longstanding and continued role racism has played in preventing investments in public goods that would benefit everyone, including caregiving. We’ll also do a deep dive into the 1970s when the U.S. nearly invested in universal childcare — and how fear was deployed to block it.
