Comment on Pay Day with demographer Liz Allen: 'Poverty grants perspective that can never be bought'
funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 3 months agono I’m arguing against the eugenics-basred thought-terminating cliche that “poor people are poor because they have children” which is a nonsense.

How is it nonsense? You have a certain earning potential. If you choose to have 7 children, you both limit your earning potential due to the time investment of breeding and the need to spread your available income over more dependants. This isn’t some class warfare shit. Rich people can afford to have more children because they’re rich. We don’t start on a level playing field. There are exceptions of course but they are exactly that - exceptions.
