Individual happiness and being a good parent (which contributes to breaking the cycle) don't necessarily intersect as much as you think, or at least it's based on the individual.
Some people's happiness is only marginally related to how well their kids are doing (as evident by rise in single-parent households), so the 20k may contribute essentially 0 to the long term solution.

- nvy 3y agoIt's like you didn't read anything I wrote, and then built your own straw man to argue with.
- antisthenes 3y agoNo, I just pointed out that your absolutist statements look ridiculous.
- nvy 3y agoSo just to be clear: you think "it is very likely" or "he might" are absolutist statements? Is that what you're saying?
- antisthenes 3y agoNo. Look at what I quoted originally.
