Also, yeah, people not being able to afford to support their kids is obvious. It’s literally happening. I know this site leans heavily middle-upper/upper class SF/CA, but the majority of (the US) lives paycheck to paycheck and cannot support a child without serious compromised to QOL, both for themselves and the child.
In order to convince people and make your comments worthwhile to read, you need a better argument than “it is literally happening” (I don’t think anyone misinterpreted you and thought your comment was a metaphor and this was only figuratively happening). You may think people are foolish for not believing you, but nevertheless, they don’t believe you, and you need to make some argument to convince them.
