Agreed; the system is now so completely inverted and has been for a while. The extremely wealthy can actually afford to have huge families and not suffer a huge setback in quality of life.
In agrarian societies where having more help around the farm was relatively cheaply done by having more babies, the poor would often have very large families. If most people are living in and near cities and very, very few have anything to do with farming, the cost per child is much different. People in the middle class that push children past something like 5 or so are almost guaranteed to be treading water or backwards, economically.
Don’t worry. Elon will make fifty more babies to offset the difference. /s
But not really sarcasm, cause that weird fuck will probably do it.
Seriously though, this is the wealthy’s problem. They have the funds, let them have the kids.
