They don't have a plan to fix any actual crisis that exists.
Their plan is the free market will fix it. What they as the government have to do is nothing, get out of the way, let the problem fester, and that way the free market will come up with a solution. That's their ideology.
So unregulated daycares. Well, I can’t see anything that could go wrong there. /s
Come on dude wake the fuck up. If three kids die at the daycare on the corner you’ll know not to take your kids there. It’s the free market and it absolutely works.

That place shut down, there's a new place there now.
Yes, it's got the same staff as the old one, but I'm sure that's just a coincidence.
I wonder if they have a VIP service. I’m sure that would be safe.
When something bad happens Vance will say "that's a fact of life".
Because his daycare will be rich people only, his free market will have solved it. If you want to solve yours, then just get rich. That's how their ideology works.
Yes but the only problem with that is the reason we have regulation was the free market. It's like the economic liberals that call themselves libertarians. Claiming that all our economic problems are because of regulations. And don't get me wrong there absolutely are regulations that are bad that need to be changed. But the horrors of even the worst regulation. Are nothing compared to the horrors of unregulated unfettered capitalism.
Unfortunately though for too many Americans are completely brainwashed to the point where. You could make a series of unintelligible grunts, shout MERICA! Free market! Yeeeeeehaaaaw! And have just made a convincing policy platform.
They'd have to care that there are crises to bother trying to fix them. Trump only cares about his personal problems and I'm pretty sure Vance is some kind of robot with bad AI who will just stop charging himself if things get too bad.
When someone responds to what kind of donuts would you like with whatever makes sense, you might not be wrong. That whole exchange was severe cringe.
4D chess. You obviously need to deal with an imaginary crisis with an imaginary plan.
