Lol sometimes it’s the only language they understand… but you’re right. I’ll try to refrain from any lib posting in response to lib posting

I never said force people to get abortions. Here’s what I’m saying:

Why is it that the money printer goes brrrr when it comes to injecting trillions in a failing stock market, funding defense budgets, funding secret wars, funding wars at the drop of a hat, redistributing wealth upwards (through regressive tax cuts), etc… BUT when it comes to the state paying for child support all of a sudden “we don’t have enough money so we need to tighten our belts, the sperm producer MUST PAY and if they don’t we’re gonna shame them like libs, and everyone needs to put their head down, keep calm, and carry on.”

we’re talking about the income of individuals

I’ll say this: the money printer machine goes brrr for so many things, but when it comes to child support, all of a sudden there’s all sorts of austerity talk and “personal responsibility.” I call BS on that… it’s that simple.

Once a child is there, that child “claims” both parents’ support.

I’d reframe this to “a child claims support from society.” This takes the burden off of individuals and places it on society.

That was in response to many comments that used the concept of “sperm contributing partner paying the costs.” I tried to point out there that it comes off as thinly-veiled gender essentialism.

I said that in response to many comments in this thread that seemed to rest their entire argument on the “sperm producer” paying, etc.

Ah so seniority is all that matters. Guess we all gotta listen to Pelosi then…
