60 hours a week? 2 jobs? Wife works also? Live with family? Move to cheaper housing (live in a single wide trailer)?



Sounds miserable

And if the best the guy can do is make 15 dollars an hour how is he reasonably going to support a family of 3?



a guy making 15 and a girl making 15 can easily support a baby.

Is life supposed to be luxurious for a guy making 15 an hour, with no hope fo doing better who chose to have a child?

Me or you Working more hours so that guy can work less sounds miserable to me, that’s what you seem to be advocating.

It really is that simple for anyone with just a tad bit of intelligence. Do you have kids? When did you have your first?

The average person would probably be considered terribly stupid to most people and half of the population is dumber than the average person

No just imagine the stupidity of the bottom quintile of the population

So stop paying them to spit kids out. Let them suffer for their decisions. I don't need to pay for their stupidity. And frick their kids too. I care more about my kids than their kids that will just grow up to do the same. Don't care how harsh that sounds.

I'm saying that it's probably not a good sign that a guy making twice the federal minimum wage and working 60 hours a week can't support a family of 3 on his own.

We pay for the kids of more than just the poor though

So unless you want literally all benefits of having kids being completely removed then stfu

Who said he couldn’t? I was suggesting multiple ways to support his family, make do, etc.
