Google is not, nor was it ever, our "friend"...in today's fast-tanking (oops, er, changing) economy, Google is discovering that: a) they don't pay their employees (most of 'em, anyway) enough to afford all the expenses of life. OK, virtually no company does these days, but still, and b) when the value of their stock goes down, some things must go, day care among them. If it ain't making the company money, it gets deep-sixed.

Remember when families needed only one breadwinner because that person earned enough (at an average, ordinary job like file clerking or driving trucks) to support the entire family? There wasn't much need for day care then, because Mom was Mom...and before anybody cries "chauvinist pig" at me, let me point out that running a household full-time is every bit as much hard and honest work as driving a truck. But at least the kids got raised by a full-time parent...
