    I love how in America you get help when you run a company to the ground(bailouts) or a Child Tax Credit if you had a kid but you can’t afford it, but if you’re responsible and don’t have a kid because you know you can’t afford it, you get no safety net. America really seems to reward blindly plowing forward and screwing up more than careful consideration before the fact.

        Then increase child services. Don’t give irresponsible parents a check that they literally have no oversight on to make sure they actually spend it on the kids.

      Thank God that responsible people who only have the number of children they can afford never experience unexpected life changes! It’s almost like an invisible dome protects them to keep them healthy and financially stable until adulthood. /s

      Shit happens. Being less judgemental of others makes life easier and happier for those around you AND yourself, plus it’s free!

        Thank god we provide “poverty support” but only offer it to parents. Of course they’re the only ones with unexpected life problems.
