'Infrastructure' Has No Meaning

Or, as Insty put it: Graft is infrastructure:

Paid leave is infrastructure.
Child care is infrastructure.
Caregiving is infrastructure.

Seriously thought: just bullshitter.

Here are some things that are extremely clear: Paid leave is not infrastructure. Child care is not infrastructure. Caregiving is not infrastructure.
