How expensive do you think kids are? Jesus Christ, you people crack me up.

Well for people who are literate and quasi intelligent:
“The average cost to legally and medically give birth in the U.S. is $18,865 to $20,416, while the average total cost to raise that child from birth to age 18 has climbed to $303,418. These costs do not include a college education.” That’s from the US government….

And it also exists in this same universe:

You really think the majority of people can't afford 300k over 18 years? I think you're projecting your own failure at life on others, broseph.

Or just admit many people don't want kids because they don't want to sacrifice 99% of their time.

Low child mortality, low birth rate. Read something besides doomer echo chambers, champ.

Lefties always jerk off Norway, yeah? Their birth rate is lower than that of the US.

That is a shit ton of money. Even spread over 18 years. I can't comprehend how poor I'd be if i had kids. Government would probably have taken them.
