    Reminds me of the CEO who took a giant paycut so everyone in his company can earn 70k/yr minimum. Guess what some of his employees started doing. They started to have kids.

      People like him should be the norm, not an anomaly. In a system in full support of greed, only the greedy are meant to thrive unfortunately.

      I’d just adopt more dogs. Who would want drooling grimlins running around draining your bank account destroyed your social life.

          It’s definitely a decision. I don’t judge if others want kids, good for them. Infact it’s fun to load them up on sugar, teach them a few fun tricks, maybe give them some loud toys and send them home with the parents happy and very very unruly.

          I have my fun and sometimes the expression on my sister’s face is so funny.

      Unfortunately, that man (Dan Price) ended up being charged with assault later down the road, which I’ve seen used as an “argument” against the pay cut as just “well he’s a bad person, so obviously that’s a bad idea too.”

      I recall it being brought up on an old Fox News clip from an interview they’d done with someone a few years back, but I can’t seem to find it anymore. Could also just be my memory being a bit hazy though.

      Regardless, who could have guessed that paying your workers a fair cut of their labor’s value would make them capable of supporting themselves in a capitalist society? /s
