Having kids is not a social norm (at least not in every case). Who are you or any politician to decide how many kids can a couple have? Even if it only is fear

  > Who are you or any politician to decide how many kids can a couple have? I'm someone who subsidizes families having children, my taxes are paying for their healthcare, their schools, their childcare, etc. And while I'm happy to do that because maintaining society is important I'm not happy to do it for someone pumping out 15 kids. > I bet you this will be a political discussion in some years. I bet you it won't, reproduction rates have plummeted in developed nations.

    How many 15 kids family are there out there? Besides, they also pay their tax share...

      Yes, you’ve made your point. Take stock in the fact you’ve reiterated the whole debate is an incalculable, formless hypothetical in the first place without saying so explicitly.

  That’s the wrong question: who are you to be able to stop it? Is it ok to let people crank out as many babies as they want, destabilizing things further for the species? Can you more concretely define “in some years”? Before or after I am dead? This is the ultimate point I am trying to make: how much plastic and how many phones we make today impact the necessity of that future dialog. Do something about the activity today to avoid the conversation from having value rather than emotionally spinning in circles over a hypothetical. Who is this blogger to think we owe their position much thought? Cleanup the planet to keep it from being a problem then.
