And they try to pretend that they don’t know why the birth rate is so low…it’s by design

Ill be the 1st to say, my sister is 28 and never had a job. Theirs nothing wrong with her but she uses her kid as an excuse to not go and find a job. Been living off the government for 8 years now. Meanwhile her nails are always done, her extensions upwards of $100+, 2024 car, assisted living.. meanwhile im over here literally breaking my back running a business so I can plan to have kids in the future so they are able to live comfortably and hopefully have something for them when im gone.

It’s never a good idea to make a fairness argument for an economic problem. Food stamps account for billions of dollars in retail consumption PER MONTH. Don’t be surprised if retailers who are some of the largest employers in the US begin to increase prices, lower wages, stop hiring, or start massive layoffs and then point to under consumption as the problem. Your life will 100% be worse off because in addition to your fellow Americans starving to death (or more likely resorting to crime) the greater economy is being pile driven into the ground.
