re: Hot take: Could you break the poverty cycle by offering free vasectomys?

It's a complete pipe dream. Do you honestly think Step One (removing children at birth from their mothers) of this process could ever be enacted?

If you're willing to believe that we can kidnap babies from their mothers, I'm willing to believe that tax dollars could be found and allocated to build the required infrastructure and adequately pay early childhood development professionals, nurses, and psychiatrists to develop and implement a reasonable plan of operation. Things are going to be different when I'm running this planet.
