> Corporate interests don't care for children because they get in the way of profits.

Baloney. People having more children is the dream scenario for all business--more children = more consumers = more economic growth.

This has nothing to do with some evil corporate boogeyman.

Just look at the data. There's a direct correlation between rising standards of living and having less children. This is because, if you give humans education and birth control, it turns out most of them don't actually want to have 8 kids.

No, they dream of having customers who buy more stuff.

As employers, having parents take care of children cuts into work and is a distraction.
