Nick writes: “People have kids because they have hopes; people with more fears than hopes, probably don’t have kids.”
Ed writes: “It seems we who have benefited either directly or indirectly from the welfare that has supported the labs in NM should feel some responsibility to help the 75% of children in the SF schools who are on food aid, if for no other reason to break the cycle of poverty.” How about removing tax credits for dependents. And do more to indoctrinate people to have more fears than hopes, because judging from Ed’s remark, they are badly calibrated to reality. And raise taxes across the board to fund schools so that the kids do in fact leave and don’t make the same mistake. Depopulate parts of this country where it is just not going to work out. Canada is doing it. Or conversely, pay them to come. https://www.cbc.ca/radio/blogs/how-do-you-deal-with-dwindling-tiny-towns-newfoundland-and-labrador-will-pay-you-to-leave-1.4466157 https://money.cnn.com/2018/05/31/pf/jobs/vermont-pay-remote-workers/index.html Marcus
