Fash privileging heteronormativity in order to increase servitude and hasten planetary destruction? Fairly normal in our culture.

That looks more like 50k, 5k can easily go in pants pockets.

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

$5k in a Roth IRA in the sp500 at birth is the only way that it is worth anything.

Haha, what's $4k in the sp500 gonna do? I guess having $3k in the sp500 is better than nothing...

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

[–] [email protected] 14 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

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

With the tariffs that hardly helps.

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 4 days ago

Sounds like classic Conservative projection.

It's free to give birth here

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago

It's free to also commit murder.

It's the part afterwards that might maybe kinda be the issue.

Have 4 kids.

5k is couch money when you have kids. It'll maybe take care of a few months of daycare. Now if you're on gov assistance and make next to nothing? This will be great, but don't expect to get a job or climb out of poverty with 5k. A kid will eat that up super fast.
