我无法理解这样一个经济体：在其中，养老院费用高得足以让家庭破产，而照顾我们祖父母的护理员却仍然依赖食品银行。或者在其中，日托服务可能吞掉一位父母的全部薪水，而提供这些照顾的人仍然无法赚到维持生计的工资，需要第二份工作。这其中的数学计算就是不对劲。

I can’t wrap my head around an economy where nursing homes cost enough to bankrupt families, yet the aides caring for our grandparents still rely on food banks. Or where daycare can consume an entire parent’s paycheck, while the people providing that care still can’t earn a living wage and need a second job. Something about that math just doesn’t add up.
