If children were for the benefit of the family still, it would be up to each family to decide on having children.
But now, children are more like wards of the state, future tax payers, so the calculus of potential parents is reduced to the joy the gain from having kids vs. the extra money they could earn. If the center of American life was the family again, it would be a value in itself to have children, so there would be little conundrum. But kids aren't really an investment anymore. You have your 401(k), so children are not a value in of itself, for the parents, but more of a luxury, with their value to carry on society a coincidental effect. And that is why we have to ponder how to get corporations to balance women in the work force and their ability to have kids, which should have never been the concern of corporations, but families.
You know that slippery slope arguments the right used to have? Sometimes I wonder if they weren't all fallacies. Like "death of the family" fear mongering.
We've removed things we don't like but haven't found a good replacement for the issues that lead to the thing we don't like.
This is an issue most people have, period.
We want the "do not cross" lines remove but fail to put up a sign that says "warning, edge of cliff unsable" and now people keep falling off and others go "see, we told you with would happen" while the other side is claiming they just want to block the only way to x"
This is also what happens when you don't listen to valid arugments from your opponents and either address them or acknowledge this is a risk and if that risk is good.
If the right had listened more to Friedman, we wouldn't be here.
But, I guess there was Reagan.
He wasn't a complete disaster.
All others just hastened the decline.
They must not have a very good grasp of how the constitution works.
Consti- wait no you can't do that!
My guess after the Suing is that Trump might send another 10-20k Soldiers to the Border
It gets even better, the parent company of the one filing and funding the lawsuit have another subsidiary company
```Libre by Nexus helps post bond for people being held in immigration detention centers while they wait for their cases to be heard in backlogged courts. In exchange for their freedom, immigrants sign contracts promising to pay Libre $420 per month while wearing the company’s GPS ankle devices.```
And *they* are being investigated by at least 3 states for exploitation of these immigrants

That's styx Take on the Video @H. George Wells posted
no Problemo
“ The Alt-Right’s favorite social network Gab’s to use blockchain to make itself indestructible “ by Micheal del Castillo on Forbes”
The fear the corporate media has of Gab is clearly expressed in this article about the website looking into utilizing blockchain technology. They say “ no better example of the power, and the terror, inspired by blockchain than Gab..” and “ Gab epitomizes the darker consequences...” . They told us to build our own. Now that we are, they are afraid.

Wall Street Journal just blocked $26,000+ from getting to children of St. Jude due to differing politics.
Not much to go on. The headline appears to overplay things a bit, but the kind of think I think Tim likes to talk about from time to time.

As a girl who is into chicks, she isn't bad. I have no trouble saying it. Hell, she's pretty darned cute. 😃
If anything, he should be fired for his weak praise.
