Yep. Might as well be a penny.

I think what I meant is, are there any important differences between him and a 12 year old in this context?

It's offensive and condescending given the extreme lack of overall support for parents, I'm glad non-Americans cannot relate. They should change the amount to 1 penny, it would be more appropriate, have nearly the same effect, offend us the same, and save (billionaire) taxpayers more money, which is the real goal.

You said you would take any little help you can, here's a pwetty penny. Go buy yourself a gumball.

Literally literally means figuratively.

Vim is hell to learn (a few weeks), but the second best time investment return I've made of any skill, ever (1st was learning to walk).

A baby bonus of $100 will also lead to improved outcomes. $10 too, just harder to measure. Heck why not $0.01?

Actually if you're a Democrat you have to act perfectly all the time. This guy's a Republican so it's totally fine to be a child.

It could be, or it could be 6th grade debate and communication skills. But we're allowed to be angry and not act perfectly.

Satisfying to argue but doesn't work either on these 6th grade debate ability folks. You make a 7th grade argument, not an adult one if you want to help him.

He literally might as well be in his capacity to debate and process emotions, which is his only relevant skills here. But the other way was shorter to write.

He would feel threatened if a creepy woman TSA agent did this to him too. It's much more rare, but it's a better argument for these kinds of people. I've seen this response countless times. Banned from r/conservative for "threatening" users lol.

Think of them like children (his debate skills are <6th grader, so he literally is). You have to be gentle.

Not true and it misses the point. Infant mortality was never over 50% and women aren't having significantly fewer children because of it. It's become impossible to raise even 1 kid for many couples. There is no financial, marital, or familial support anymore. Now that women have a choice via birth control, they aren't putting up with it.

You still need 2 working parents, few people want to balance a career and children. We're not designed for it. And their social help, while good for global standards, amounts to a fraction of the cost of having kids. In prehistory a whole village raised children and people barely worked. Social policies help but we need a global structural change.

Especially when you can't afford their education. Those are the best kind of voters.

It's important because the rhetoric of "we only want useful people" isn't true. It's not just about her, it's also about false rhetoric.

How so?
