Really shows how some people in HN have never experienced poverty. If a households main income earner is making minimum wage they will not be making shopping trips to IKEA to furnish their whole apartment lol. IKEA is cheap but the $50 you have left over after bills won't get you much. Many months you will have a negative balance after you've paid for essentials.

Maybe you shouldn't start a family when you are making minimum wage, in a city with a high cost of living.

Personally I agree that in modern society its a good idea to wait to have kids until you can provide for them....

But its a little weird that a Caveman's most basic prerogative (To procreate), is not something many people in modern society can afford to do.

It's also something that is fairly important to the continuation of our species, so hopefully we can figure out a way more people can responsibly afford to have children.

It surely seems now that the biological imperative is just a luxury for the rich...

I don't see what that has to do with what I said but sure, the poor shouldn't start families.

Then start lobbying the red states to stop placing restrictions on birth control and family planning.
