[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Society fails to support parents and then blames us for having kids when we dare to ask for help during pandemic shutdowns ("school is not childcare").  Personally, we paid $$$$ for IVF because we wanted so badly to be parents.  For us, it was 100% worth it, but I see how it would be logical to opt out of parenthood.[/quote

School isn't childcare and [b]you aren't required to be a parent[/b]. If you have children you need to be able and prepared to handle them in all circumstances.[/quote]

No, no one is required to do it. But the child-free people will benefit from all of the current children growing up and paying taxes for their social security, and working in all the essential jobs to keep a functioning society. [/quote]

Ummm no. Less people in the world - less need for social services - cops, pollution, hospice care, resource drain.

On top of the fact that child-free people are paying taxes currently to subsidize your public schools which are 70-80% of the county budgets in places like Fairfax, Arlington, or Montgomery. In Fairfax alone the annual public school budget is $3.4 billion a year. Imagine if that money was diverted to give everyone a free home, free healthy groceries delivered every day to their doorstep, community physical health initiatives - like the training and conditioning the military receives, better medical care for all etc.

Children cost way more in resources than the elderly who worked all their lives for their social security benefits which are now insolvent thanks to government overspending. Hope they pass that debt ceiling bill before the 15th.  :cry: [/quote]
