$5k in a Roth IRA in the sp500 at birth is the only way that it is worth anything.

daycare costs $2k a month? are they training the kids to be astronauts?

[–] Tja@programming.dev 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

To be honest, childcare is expensive. You can only have so many kids per worker, you need to pay rent for a big space, utilities, etc. In a big city it adds up fast. I'm sure some of it goes to some CEO's Yacht, but even at cost it would be expensive.

The reason it's free/cheap in Europe is because it's subsidized from taxes. Same as universities and Healthcare.

instead of DEPENDING on GOVERNMENT HANDOUTS new parents should be GRATEFUL someone is WILLING to be GENEROUS and provide them with such GOODWILL. America is WINNING again under PRESIDENT TRUMP

As an atheist baby-eater, sign me up. I could have a lovely dinner party for $5K on Hallowen every year and not have to find a main course.

It's free to give birth here

[–] VitoRobles@lemmy.today 6 points 2 months ago

It's free to also commit murder.

It's the part afterwards that might maybe kinda be the issue.

Adoption services are going to go wild! Hospitals too with infant detox programs. It's the new plasma!
