Babies happen.
BTW, the Bible says to be fruitful and multiple. It doesn't give any other specifics.

What if you can afford to have kids, have them, then your job is given to a robot?
Or you're a coal miner, and waiting for someone to "bring your job back"?
The school board won’t accept donations to pay the debts. Sounds like they just want to be mean to poor parents.
Anyone affected by this is likely making well under $15/hr. So if you're making $10/hr, you're not in a good parenting position to start with.
So you think it's good to keep paying people $10/hr, so that they continue to qualify for state/federal assistance? Are you a fan of federal assistance? Do you think the Walton family (net worth: $175 billion) will go belly-up if they pay their employees $15/hr?
No. I think they and every other retailer will increase prices to cover the expense, negating the benefit of a higher minimum wage. This will benefit people in debt, though, since inflation effectively reduces interest rates. And it will punish people who invest/lend for the same reason.
That much I got. I just didn't understand following the capitalism comments, but maybe I missed a connection.
I think if you get a $11-12/hour job and you're responsible and realize you don't make enough to have kids, that's enough to live a reasonable and modest life in many places in the country.
Yes, and I actually agree that it's somewhat illogical to require the same minimum wage in Mississippi as NJ. But as I said before, capitalism isn't as self regulating as some want to think. The laws of supply and demand aren't enough to get Wal-Mart to pay more than $9/hr. The worker-to-CEO gap just keeps getting wider and wider. That's why laws and regulations are needed.
Anyway, there are some people in a poor place in Pennsylvania who haven’t paid their kid’s lunch bill. I don’t know their story, but I know it must be unpleasant. Maybe they are immoral freeloaders, laughing at the school system and lighting their crack pipes with the letters threatening to take their kids away. Or maybe they are working 3 jobs and deep in debt, struggling to get by. Either way, several generous people have volunteered to pay their debt. That should be the end of it, but the school system refuses to accept the money. So this isn’t about the money. It’s about shaming poor people.
As Jesus once said, the poor will always be with us. We need to accept that.
Also, Jesus said that after a woman poured expensive perfume on his head while he was reclining at a table. Not working, not investing, just sitting there reclining and accepting charity. He could be such a welfare queen.

"The few. The proud. The criminals. The Marines." I took the liberty of adding two words to the slogan.
I usually feel bad when people die in a car crash. Usually. But not this time.

This is freaking cool. I'd totally let the military blow up my corpse for a "blast test". I think I now finally have a solid plan for my dad's funeral too.
