Who the actual fuck is sitting around in 2025 saying, 'Gosh it would be great to start a family but we just can't afford it. We're about * looks at calculator * yeah we're about $5K short. If we only had five grand, we'd do it tomorrow.'

Stop pretending to give a damn, Donald!

Nothing

I have a connective tissue disorder, and with maternal mortality rates in this country, I’m thinking my odds of dying or bad complications are pretty high.
Luckily I don’t want kids, actually I refuse to have kids.
Funny story, $10k is LESS than the benefits Denmark provides to citizens of Greenland every year. We'd be better off if Denmark annexed us.
Make it make sense.
