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

Can you provide proof humans are actually damaging the earth? Just curious, because there is a lot of science out there saying it is not.
I agree with you though.
5000$ is a lot. In Germany you get only 250€
well, that's
per month until they're 27 (as long as they're still in school/university)
plus free healthcare for mother and child
plus free daycare (depending on the state)
plus free schools and universities
...
You forgot maternity leave, something the 'mricans don't know, either.
To add on, seems like the 5k (USD) is a one-time lump sum. Your price quote from Germany is already 3k (EUR) after a year. It only every outscales the 5k.

He should know that you can't buy that many diapers with $5k.
Unless he doesn't do his own diaper shopping I guess...
Wages have not kept up with productivity and GDP increases since the 1970s.
How about making single income middle class families possible again, so you can have one stay at home parent.

It won't even cover the cost of giving birth. This is some real "how much could a banana cost" energy.
Also, the cost of giving birth will magically jump up by $5,000 as soon as this passes. It was never a function of how much it cost to actually provide that service.
$8000 if the mother wants to hold her baby after birth
And you wanna take that baby home? Well there's a few for that.
Daycare cost $2k a month
Is that for real? That's more than (many) private schools in Europe.
A 2 bedroom 1 bathroom house in Toronto costs more than a castle in france

Well to be fair, that's what it costs in many European countries, too.
That's why many women don't work. The cost is basically as high as a low paying or part time job.
That's why everyone needs free daycare. That will generate a higher GDP for everyone.

It can depend of state to state too. In Oklahoma, our cost of living is considered low but we have a high poverty rate. Our median income per household is 67k, and single income is 35k. Childcare for infants averages around $800 a month

With the tariffs that hardly helps.
