first time I thought I was actually gonna get mauled, all those things I heard mentioned about scaring off a wild dog start running through my head

I've been attacked.

Just last week while walking to work there were two big ass dogs with no owner around following and barking at me. I just pretended they weren't there.

Same thing happened once when I was in Idaho except the dogs started biting at the back of my pants.

Way too often do I find my self in this situation and it's gotten me paranoid to the point where when it happened again last week I started having a panic attack and breathing problems while they were following me.

Even worse is the fact that these two dogs could easily run into the busy street and get hit all because the dumb bitch owner. I've seen way too many dog corpses laying in gutters. One time I was going for a walk at night and ran into a big ass pitbull corpse just laying in the middle of the sidewalk.

How do a bunch of ****ty people raising future ****ty people add value? Youre weird.

Society is already down the rabbit hole of rewarding people for being an idiot, but there's hope with ideals like that. It all starts at the infant level to condition people to be mindful of others and the planet. There has to be a push to break or reprogram the bad habits and unhealthy mindsets of the past.

Spoiler for my stance on the subject:

we can argue whether growing the economy is what we want when it just means the destruction of the planet

but nothing adds value like raising a kid

that's what gets on my nerves about people getting bent out of shape about "welfare queens" besides the obvious racial connotation

the welfare Queen thing is real though

I know this will land in deaf ears but I knew many people growing up who abused welfare and treated their kids as another paycheck

My own family abused the system

My friends family abused the system

The system is designed so that working is punished and having extra kids is rewarded. That's a terrible incentive structure. People work under the table just to not disrupt their benefits. People have kids knowing this can bring in more money.

I don't disagree in spirit that raising kids right is a definite service to society worth paying for... I'm just unsure how you would ensure the money is actually going to fund kids being raised right in any effective way.
