“So the federal government says for childcare to be affordable, it should be about 7% of your income.

“Now, anybody who has a child who is listening to this is probably laughing right now. Because with average costs in Wisconsin, this is just average, a family would have to make $185,000 a year to afford one child in childcare.

“And I had two under the age of five.

“So that's our plan. We are going to treat it like the infrastructure that it is, and we are going to make sure families pay no more than 7% of their income in childcare.”

🐍💉 Tim Friede spent nearly 20 years gradually immunizing himself against #venom from over a dozen deadly #snakes, including #cobras and black #mambas.

Scientists used #antibodies from his blood to create an experimental #antivenom that protected #mice from 13 types of snake venom. The work could lead to a single broad-spectrum antivenom.
