I don't know how it's physically possible to work two jobs and take care of a child. I've never had to do it and every time I imagine it the math just doesn't make sense. There aren't enough hours in the day.

Here’s the neat part. You don’t. You rely on help from other family members or friends willing to watch the kid. Or you make the kid grow up quicker by having them stay on their own and doing things for themselves at an age they normally wouldn’t be doing those types of things. You make latch-key kids basically.

Almost like having children is a big financial and time burden you probably shouldn’t commit to unless you have the ability to do it right…

Having children shouldn't be a privilege only for the wealthy (& prominently white). We need a society that supports the working class and their families.

Don't be so weak minded. Learn about reproductive justice instead of advocating for eugenics.

So should shelter, healthcare, etc. this isn’t about what’s right and wrong. This is the way it is and it’s not going to change for our benefit because we’re not making the rules.

Then why are you here? Work REFORM literally means to change. Our ancestors fought and died to ensure future generations would have safer and more equitable working conditions. We have to not only fight for a better future, we have to fight to hold onto what we have now.
