So let's see here:
Saddle me with a hundred thousand in student debt.
Saddle me with another hundred thousand in medical debt for the birth because of some technicality with half an aspirin being out of network and deeming the pregnancy elective or some horseshit.
Charge me upwards of twenty five thousand a year per kid for childcare.
Give me zero days of parental leave.
Charge a million dollars at seven percent for a studio condo with a predatory HOA hell bent on finding a reason to steal the property from me.
Pay me seven dollars an hour.
Yep. That whole quiverfull concept sounds fucking great!
It's becoming obligatory in say, Texas.
There are countries that have none of those issues and still have low birth rates, e.g. the Nordic countries.
