Introduction

Last year we started producing a series of episodes about american culture and how the us. Is an outlier in a variety of ways. The idea was to explore why the media and policing and transportation policy in the us Are so different than in most places. One other big difference we examined was how other countries support families with young children, especially lower income families. Some countries view an investment in children as an investment in a more prosperous, shared future. In the us, not so much.
