    You want to restore the nuclear family? Make it financially viable for us to have one.

    One of the main reasons I don’t have children is because it’s too goddamn expensive.

    Also I’m sterile. But there’s nothing anyone can do about that.

      Fertility issues are also massively on the rise, probably just another side effect of all the pollution we let oligarchs inflict for private profit.

      And Nero Bezos/Walton/Buffet/Koch/etc counted while humanity burned.

      I want kids. But I need government programs like Universal Healthcare, real paternity leave rights, and maybe even extreme stuff like subsidized surrogacy to make that happen. My family in Japan has that. My SO in Canada has that. Why can’t we have that here in the US?
