    1. We’d rather also not keeping feeding your Epstein pedo pipeline, thank you very much. The pedo clamoring for more children? Ick.

      You want a baby boom, then you’ve got to make having babies seem like a positive. When people can’t get ahead for themselves, see our social fabric fraying, and are given no reason to believe things will improve other than “I say they will improve,” while having *zero* results to back that statement up, bringing a child into the world is simply unfeasible.

      Improve life for the people who are here *now*, and maybe they’ll be able to think about having babies.

      (This comment brought to you by somebody with three kids, who would not dream of starting a family right now if I was a young adult).

      Kids are luxury items these days. The biggest label of wealth now, is affording childcare AND groceries.

    4. maybe if the cost of childcare wasn’t more than some mortgages each month. These assholes are like please have more babies while we do nothing to make raising them easier.
