Both work 48 hour weeks, who takes care of the baby? Who is going to give them the overtime.

His premise falls apart on its own

Actually, he does explain it in the replies.

After a year of this, the wife has a baby and works just 20 hrs a week, still at $15/hr. The husband has been promoted to store manager or higher (convenience and fast-food store chains are desperate for workers they can promote) and makes $25/hr

It's so simple! ๐Ÿ™„jagoff

the wife's 20 hrs a week isn't enough to pay for childcare. the husband now works 60 hours a week (straight time, no OT), for 2 bucks more an hour than peons, not 10. now with 'family' health plan, his insurance cost has more than tripled. their combined net take-home is less than it was before. they divorce 18 months later.
