    How can there still RELATIVELY many people be able to have kids financially? The fertility rate in most european countries in comparison is lower, although we have affordable healthcare (well compared to the US at least).

      Why do you think they’re trying to shut down reproductive rights? They want people to have kids despite financial capability to raise them. As long as they survive growing up, they’ll labor.

          Things feel so dystopian that I get the feeling that after they get everyone on debt slavery that they’ll put propaganda about how it’s unfair that debt is absolved on death and that your family/kids should pay for it. Fox News will be like: “why should a company’s debts just disappear? it’s unfair to the lender!”
