Anyone can have as many children as they want, if they can support, provide and care for them, otherwise they become other people's problem.
I mean yes, but also if people want to retire they need a workforce to keep society running, no? This is not me advocating for having kids, but for society helping raise kids.
Sure, if we had governments who cared for the wellbeing of their citizens, and companies that paid fair wages, but sadly we are just "human capital" or "human resources". I'm not contributing to that.
Haha yes things aren't great, but that's no reason to give up.
Agreed, but like I said, if you can love and care for them go ahead, because if you can't you might be putting a burden on society instead of contributing to it.
Oh ok sorry. I was just endorsing tax breaks etc for parents :)
