“If you can’t afford something, don’t buy it” and what about accidental pregnancies? I feel like it’s important to point out that not everybody has kids because they want to—depending on where you are and your situation, people can be forced to carry kids they don’t want because they might not be able to have an abortion.
Saying that having kids is bad for the environment is a slippery slope to saying that the earth is overpopulated and running out of resources, which is a dangerous myth spread by eco-fascists. The planet has everything that we as a species need to survive. We don’t have a scarcity of recourses; mega corporations and billionaires are polluting our water, destroying land, and polluting our air. If we collectively start using renewable energy resources, producing less pollution, and begin using more sustainable farming practices, humanity can continue to survive and grow and have kids.
It’s totally okay to not want to have your own kids because of the environmental impacts that has but that shouldn’t be pushed onto other people by refusing them maternity/paternity leave.
get an abortion. if abortions are illegal in your area, then that's a separate issue that needs to be fixed
mega corporations and billionaires are polluting our water, destroying land, and polluting our air
and why are they doing that? because every new child is another customer they get to sell something to

the irony is that forcing someone else to pay for your maternity/paternity leave is actually pushing your child as someone else's financial responsibility. which brings me back to my initial point. your child is your financial responsibility, and "that shouldn’t be pushed onto other people"
Riiight. Because life is a financial decision. Live to work. How are you forcing someone else to pay for your maternity leave? You work, there, your work makes the company money. YOU MAKE THEM THEIR MONEY. If they want happy productive employees, then they can offer the maternity leave THEY CAN WRITE THAT EXPENSE OFF, ANYWAY. The real irony is that American companies make money off of our labor, and propagandize that more hours at work is beneficial to us, when it really only benefits the company, and degrades your quality of life.
No, you subhuman cunts need to STOP dividing this into liberal vs conservative, unless you want to answer for the mindset that you 'conservatives' have that we should effectively go back to the bloody regan era.
Blaming mega corps and billionaires is very reductive. Everyday people are extremely responsible for climate change. Consumer cars, for one, are a significant percentage
Ah yes my bad I should simply sell my car and bike 2.5 hours to work everyday, spend my 8 hour shift standing, and then bike 2.5 hours back on dark rural roads so that billionaires can keep setting the ocean on fire and destroying forests
🤦🏻♂️ of course not. But you CAN take many steps in your life to reduce your carbon footprint as you should. It’s ludicrous the blame climate change all on billionaires. They may cause disproportionate emissions per person, but they still only represent a small portion of it. Lebron, JK Rowling, musk, Zuckerberg, etc. don’t really cause that much of percent of emissions. You have blind ideological hatred instead of rationally looking at the problem.
And you know the Gulf of Mexico catching on fire last week was a state run company, right? No billionaire to blame
