Shithole state Americans: "One hundred sixty dollars? I'll take four!"

Similarly, I went out to eat and offered them a crisp dollar bill. Surprise! They didn't serve me.

Yep. Might as well be a penny.

It's offensive and condescending given the extreme lack of overall support for parents, I'm glad non-Americans cannot relate. They should change the amount to 1 penny, it would be more appropriate, have nearly the same effect, offend us the same, and save (billionaire) taxpayers more money, which is the real goal.

You said you would take any little help you can, here's a pwetty penny. Go buy yourself a gumball.

Literally literally means figuratively.

Vim is hell to learn (a few weeks), but the second best time investment return I've made of any skill, ever (1st was learning to walk).

A baby bonus of $100 will also lead to improved outcomes. $10 too, just harder to measure. Heck why not $0.01?

Not true and it misses the point. Infant mortality was never over 50% and women aren't having significantly fewer children because of it. It's become impossible to raise even 1 kid for many couples. There is no financial, marital, or familial support anymore. Now that women have a choice via birth control, they aren't putting up with it.

You still need 2 working parents, few people want to balance a career and children. We're not designed for it. And their social help, while good for global standards, amounts to a fraction of the cost of having kids. In prehistory a whole village raised children and people barely worked. Social policies help but we need a global structural change.

Especially when you can't afford their education. Those are the best kind of voters.
