> Politicians will do any draconian measure to help kids except try and improve the lives of their parents so that they can actually dedicate time to parenting.

Because in their eyes your children are not your children. You are simply a custodian of their future work force asset. If you educate your children too much into individualism, they (today’s politicians) may see a diminished return of whatever they want to achieve.

And if you don’t agree with me on an emotional level, well, just remember the words of Elon Musk (paraphrasing): we need people to have children because we need to have workforce in the future. Translation: we need people to have children because who will work for us and makes tons of money.

If you have it too good, you aren’t dependent on them, you have all the carrots. They have no stick. They want to have the stick.

I agree. Just was trying to point out that this has nothing to do with helping kids

Translation: government is the problem not the solution.

Hard disagree. Corporations running the government instead of a nation's people is the problem.
