Wow, two months rent for having a baby. That should fix it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Not sure that covers two month's rent for the kind of space you need for the 5 women to average a baby every 2 months.

Remember the stimulus checks that covered approximately 15 days' worth of rent?

Remember? I'm still living off of mine!

Oh wait, that was just some right wing delusional bullshit that disappeared as quickly as it materialized.

After he rolls this out he'll start pushing to drop the child tax credit arguing, "they already get so much investment up front. They're so greedy."

Isn’t it like ~$310,000 to raise a kid to 17? That’s, what, 2% of what is needed after the poor child is born? And some woman is going to decide to let a guy nut in her for $5000?

This won't even cover the medical costs to give birth

Why only after the baby is born? Is there something significant about the moment of birth or something?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Yeah, clearly an embryo/fetus is a child with rights at the moment of conception (/s), so why wait until after delivery?

We had this in Australia for a while, where there was no hospital costs for birth, and almost 20 years ago, so it was a considerable help. The conservatives started claiming people were having babies just to get the money and then spending it on big TV's and other luxuries.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago

Sounds like classic Conservative projection.

daycare costs $2k a month? are they training the kids to be astronauts?

Free daycare and free healthcare for people under 18 are two social services that would only benefit parents. How about free college tuition moving forward?

This is just a sad attempt making an exclusive version of establishment Dem stimulus checks...
