People are not having kids because the middle class cannot afford it. Assuming your household has the average American household income of 80k. This would give the household something like 40k at most after the kid’s associated expenses, which means that each parent would have a whopping 20k to themselves. This is positively fucked because they would have to have a quality of life similar to someone who is eligible for food stamps, but they would not be themselves. Kids are for those who already benefit from government programs, or those who can afford a very expensive pet for a minimum of 15 years.

All this will do is increase the number of children born into poverty, which already accounts for the majority of children born in America.

You want an actual solution? Give parents food stamps up to a yearly income of 120k

I also find the implication that a human life is worth $5,000 disgusting.

It was clear to me that when the gov’t went after reproductive rights, it was because declining birthrates are detrimental to capitalism. The money cannot stop; the money cannot slow down. Capitalism REQUIRES exponential growth in every regard.

Any “moral” reason given by a politician against abortion is a thinly veiled disguise to ensure that the machine always has enough cogs to keep running and growing.

How are you going to say a fetus is priceless and then say a live infant is worth $5,000? Fucking disgusting.

I would NOT support a business that has an AI generated image.

A horrific thought indeed.

He must be baiting

BABE WAKE UP HOMUNCULI JUST DROPPED

Ah, thank you for letting me know. I enjoy playing roblox a lot more than I care to admit.

Last I checked, sober does not currently work due to the event Roblox is currently running, although this could have changed, as I haven’t checked in the past week.

The “Gender Gas” joke has always bothered me for no reason other than because gas IS a fucking fluid.

Nahnahnah bro it has everything it needs. Full function keys, full alphanumeric and 5 programmable buttons.

There is no objective truth; you can’t say someone who is intolerant is objectively incorrect, because in their worldview they are correct. Yes, there are bigots in the world, but taking away their right to speak is a theft of their basic human rights, and the issue is not a question of tolerance, the issue is that by silencing someone for their intolerant worldview you are righteously proclaiming your worldview as correct. I wouldn’t want my morals righteously applied onto other people; because I don’t believe my morals are objectively correct. That doesn’t mean I’m not gonna confront someone if they something I don’t jive with, it just means that I do not think they should lose their right to an opinion just because its “wrong”

Nah nah nah nah 75% keyboards are actually the correct option. Everything else is either a gimmick or antiquated I WILL die on this hill

You can just buy a vest.

The game is lietarlly half cooked, and they clearly wanted to sell the other half piecemeal as DLC.

The game literally only has 3 eras. Every other civ game has 6.

But don’t worry, they’re adding Mount Everest.

What a fucking joke

Why should I believe any of these statistics when the percentage of gun owners is verifiably wrong.

I’m just not gonna trust any of the numbers in this post.

Build a whole theme park

that goes unbelievably hard

How the fuck have I never seen anyone say f-Elon before? Did you cook that up yourself? That’s actually really clever.

People really want free speech until they don’t.

If someone’s being a prick, just clown on them. They are entitled to speak their opinion, regardless of how stupid it is. Social ostracization will always be worse than anything moderation can do anyways.

Oh brother this guy stinks!
