And the people who do have kids will prosper, and those who don't will die off.
This proposed policy is not sustainable.
Who pays for the marketing campaign on those new gadgets? Maybe they can change their mind and sell less breakable ones, even though it's worse for business?
You and me might resist the siren call of marketing, but most cannot.
Middle class cannot in general afford property, much less beachfront one. Maybe with a big mortgage. You're conflating rich and super rich with the middle class.

This way you can dismiss my critique out of hand, and continue with your present lifestyle while pretending to care. Cognitive dissonance is a powerful thing. >> Middle class cannot in general afford property, That's why I'm talking about the _upper_ middle class here. If you make quarter of a million dollars a year, you can afford property.
- sho 7y agoI do not appreciate you passing off opposing arguments as "cognitive dissonance". The basic fact that subspecies X will outbreed subspecies Y is inarguable, no matter how much dirt you attempt to throw. No-one is willing to have this conversation; I thought we might until you ruined it with this very disappointing behaviour. Stop it.
