Raising a child costs between $13k[2] and $35k[1] per year in the USA – depending on where you live and who you ask.

With a minimum wage job ($7.25/hr) you need to work about 5 to 13 hours per day to make that much – before taxes.

A lot of the issues here can be side-stepped with proper sexual education classes.

No amount of education is going to side step getting fucked in the ass like working for minimum wage.

They also tried to sterelize the lupenproletariat and it didn't end well.

Plus, no matter how many destitute families expire, they refill the servitor ranks with brain draining the rest of the planet.

Because without maintaining an excess supply of working hands, the marginal cost of labour would explode. And the rich want their latté.

All this to say, the low wages are kept low by design.It's the very reason for all the assfuckery.

So no, it won't be solved by getting the poors to fuck less and have less kids.
