I honestly don’t believe you that it wasn’t a slam on the poor but ok nice play. Good luck finding that button.

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.
Once the rich are sterilized and/or eliminated globally then we can think about population reform for decent people who don’t hoard wealth. People born into generational wealth live in a manner that’s environmentally unsustainable so naturally they need to be culled first.

that's a pretty low bar to set for "being a good mother"

Nevermind the psychological damage they inflict on their kids... As long as they survive to adulthood!

I don't really buy that

It's true to an extent the consumer class is important but that's a very simplistic way to justify people living on the dole

I don't even care about people abusing the system either, in any moral way. I'd do it myself. I just think it's delusional to act as if it's really a positive.

Thats a pretty silly position to take when we have plenty of resources, if properly managed, for no one to live on the dole. We should be bringing people up not pulling the ones above water down.

If we live in civilizations that could provide for their citizens but instead choose to create never ending war and genocide then why shouldn't every citizen turn their noses up and steal from the dole as much as they can? Maybe eventually the governments would fall short of the money they to kill everyone and have to go back to the drawing board.

If no one can agree on anything in life e.g. the first lunar landing, global warming, Donald Trump, music, etc etc How are you going to get them to agree on not to go to work tomorrow?
