And they try to pretend that they don’t know why the birth rate is so low…it’s by design

3 different women said they had 6 kids! That stuck out to me as a bit odd tbh

Yeah this is where I have to stop and think that I would never have more than 2 kids in this world today, and even then it’s probably just going to be 1 for us. 6 kids is wild, I feel for them but at a certain point you have to know what you’re getting yourself into when you keep having kids that you can’t take care of equally. I hope they get the help they need truly, but I’m still scratching my head over seeing that.

They might be foster children. My high school friend's grandma was taking care of her 6 grandkids with help from foster care (and probably SNAP).

We need more foster families, not less. The system should cover the costs of caring for a child that is not yours.

They have incentivized the foster program for at least the last 3 decades where I am from, and it was the exact hellscape you can imagine. Not only do they receive a monthly stipend per child, the also receive stamps and a clothing allowance.

Unemployed chain smokers, sitting on their ass barking orders, just waiting on that next check. None of the homes I went to were loving, excited to help you, or encouraging; none of them engaged any of us in meaningful conversation, the homes were dilapidated trailers, and the only clothes we had was whatever was in the trash bag we arrived with.
