"most of the payments went to mothers"

Because that's what we need: to incentivize reproduction.

Because we don't have enough people destroying the planet as fast as they possibly can with their arrogant, self-indulgent, human-centric, bullshit belief systems.

I'll say it once more: you are not the special darlings of a doting white god, you arrogant assholes, you are just another animal in a chaotic universe.

This planet was not put here for you to do whatever you want with it, and you are going to discover that shortly if you don't smarten up and realize the obscene waste and destruction you are perpetrating.

You are, collectively, so fucking stupid that you cannot even grok the simple concept, "don't shit where you eat". Fuckers.

Your apparent misanthropy aside, every study I've ever heard of links increased wealth, health and prosperity with declining birth rates.

By improving the lot of these women, you decrease their need to have large numbers of children (to work for them), you increase their education (so they understand why large numbers of children are unnecessary) and you also put power into the hands of the women rather than the men (so that they have a choice).
