    No one forces you to remain in the US. You can go to Mexico or Canada easily. Both places where you don’t need to pay 40k for a birth

      Not everyone has the resources or ability to just pack up and move to another country. First off, you need to get permission from the country in question to live there and both of America’s neighbors aren’t very fond of you guys right now. Second, you need a way to support yourself while living there. that could mean getting new qualifications and training that is recognized in that country which can take a while. Third, It means isolating yourself from your family, friends and support network and you have to try rebuilding all of that from scratch. Saying “Just move to another country, Bro!” is kind of insulting to those who don’t have the means to do that.

        People know what makes babies. Now a kid you can’t afford due to a dyatopian world is doomed to 80 years in the dystopian world. How is this just okay with everyone?
