I mean, some cash is nice but the reason people don’t have kids is
a bleak future in the face of a collapsing ecosystem
late stage capitalism forcing people to work all day just to be able to afford existing
degrading childcare infrastructure amidst missing teachers, preschool educators, daycare workers, etc. And a general social climate hostile to raising children

All that, but sure, those little green pieces of paper ought to do the trick.
Gen Y/Z: we require legitimate action on climate change, ecocide, housing security and affordability, wealth inequality, economic mobility, work/life balance, social welfare, education, healthcare, greedflation, monopolies!

75K is not nearly enough little papers to raise a child.
Far from it. And such a pittance does nothing to alleviate the existential horrors of existence on that list.
