Raising a child in the U.S. costs hundreds of thousands of dollars. Many younger Americans say they can't afford it.
You're viewing a single thread.
This is concerning. Especially people telling poor people to not have kids. Are we just gonna take it and accept that the joy of being a parent and having children should only be a right bestowed on the wealthy? Poor people are stuck in a financial fuck loop that they will never escape, having children is the only joy some people will experience in this fucked up system
Edit: it's crazy how many people have been brainwashed into accepting this roundabout eugenics and telling poor people they aren't entitled to children
And how are poor people supposed to afford that joy when we can barely afford to keep ourselves housed/clothed/fed?
You aren't. You're supposed to stay poor, unhappy, and unable to support your kid so they can't get a good education and can't critically think and are taught to worship trump and the GOP.
Start making heads fucking roll
I'm going to counter with 2 distilled, oversimplified thoughts:
Happiness is a choice; most people can find a way to be happy in their lives with what they have.
People shouldn't have children mainly to experience joy, be complete, or just because. That's fucked up. I know people will fluff out a number of reasons if challenged, but I think you nailed it, and I think more than a few people have kids just to have kids.
All I'm hearing is neuter the poor people
