Is "Don't have children" then leftist ideology? I don't think it is.Oh, I know, that would conflict with conservative ideology, which is what this is obviously really about. — Baden
The point I'm making is a simple one: your emphasis, when looking at class, poverty, income, etc., tends to be the personal responsibility of the poor and working classes. You place the onus on them while largely ignoring (but not denying) the role of the system in which they live, learn and grow. But that's a very narrow analysis.
If you're raised in severe poverty, can't focus in school and so drop out, have parents that are abusive drug addicts, surrounded by gang violence and police discrimination, etc., do you have a level of personal responsibility? Absolutely. Even here. And it's also important to say, because it's not about convincing people they're helpless or that they're victims. But again, these factors aren't simply "excuses" either.

It should be clear that having children - especially many of them - before one is financially stable should be avoided if your priority is to avoid poverty. I don't know how you can argue against that. Same thing with high school education. — BitconnectCarlos
If money's their aim, they should never have kids, never marry, and never hire Hanover to do their taxes. But no, the point you just made isn't objectionable to me.
Sure, then go have 3 kids when you're a single mom working as a part time barista. Those are tomorrow's problems anyways.
I'm obviously not saying you need 250k in the bank right then and there. — BitconnectCarlos
I don't think even Biden can stop the Biden juggernaut now. And he's winning fair and square, so no complaints. It's bizarre considering he's barely awake most of the time. But there you go. — Baden
What a shithole of a society. — StreetlightX
