Most households subject to the two-child limit already have at least one adult in work.
Of the minority of households that are not in work, more than nine-in-ten have a child under three or a disabled family member with additional care needs, making any return to the labour market challenging.

A reminder that Netflix wants Warner Bros and HBO’s studios and library. Larry Ellison through Paramount wants CNN, which would stay under the Discovery networks that WB is splitting off.
If Paramount doesn’t get WB, they’ll surely go after CNN anyway.

When it's brown people doing it, it's "economic inactivity". When they want white people to do it, it's "raising the next generation"...
I should also note that while my specific criticism of the CPS analysis was its errors on wage and employment data, it also contained this deeply unpleasant racist/sexist dog-whistle, amplified by @rcolvile.bsky.social in his Sunday Times article.

Federal law grants Congress the power to create visa categories and set or authorize fees for them.
The law generally authorizes federal agencies to set fees to recover the cost of processing an application.
$100,000 fee for an H-1B visa is a punitive tax rather than a cost-recovery measure.
